Building on past analyses conducted by Ghani et al. and Merriman et al., this work presents the findings from an authorship analysis of 1,269 global health papers published between 2019-2021. Overall, researchers affiliated with institutions in high-income countries (HICs) continue to dominate in the prestigious first and last author positions, with men based in HICs consistently forming the largest cohort. The analysis also shows that while in-country representation is improving, roughly one-third of single- and multi-country papers with middle authors can only claim local representation through the phenomenon of “sandwich authorship”. These findings serve as a sobering reminder that despite many discussions about and commitments to shifting power, global health has a ways to go yet towards decolonisation.
