In order to reduce the increasing cancer burden in Lower and Middle Income Countries (LMICs), oncology journals must support authors from underserved settings to become fully involved in the global publication system, without facing barriers to publishing their research such as geographical bias and lack of funding. ecancermedicalscience's goal has always been to publish high-quality research which contributes towards narrowing the gap between those who have access to adequate cancer prevention, treatment and care and those who do not. The time is now right for the journal to take new steps in proactively supporting authors from LMICs and the global partnerships that are vital to increasing the availability of resource-appropriate data. With this in mind, ecancermedicalscience will only be accepting submissions which feature at least one author from an LMIC, or which have a significant impact on under-resourced settings.
为了减轻低收入和中等收入国家（LMICs）日益增加的癌症负担，肿瘤学杂志必须支持来自服务不足地区的作者充分参与全球出版系统，而不会面临诸如地域偏见和缺乏资金等发表研究的障碍。ecancermedicalscience的目标一直是发表高质量的研究，以缩小在获得适当癌症预防、治疗和护理方面存在差距的人群之间的差距。现在正是该杂志采取新举措，积极支持来自低收入和中等收入国家的作者以及对增加资源适当数据的可用性至关重要的全球伙伴关系的时候。考虑到这一点，ecancermedicalscience将只接受至少有一位来自低收入和中等收入国家的作者的稿件，或者对资源匮乏地区有重大影响的稿件。
