dc.description.abstractThough vital to health policymaking processes, little is known about the distribution of attention to issues global health journals focus on or their alignment with commitments to health equity. We developed a new framework and methods to help address these analytical gaps. We used content analysis to systematically identify and novel methods to measure attention to themes, subthemes and geographies represented in more than 2,000 research articles published in two of the longest-running multidisciplinary global health journals, Bulletin of the World Health Organization and Health Policy and Planning, between 2004 and 2018. We found four major themes—health systems and conditions received the most attention, followed by population groups and policy dynamics. Finer grained analysis shows that the broad-based journals feature many common themes and some, including subthemes like communicable diseases, financing and children, are heavily favoured over others, such as workforce and noncommunicable diseases. It reveals publishing gaps for some highly marginalised groups and shows attention to health equity fluctuates. The new framework and methods can be used to (1) check the distribution of publishing attention for consistency with global health and specific journal aims and (2) support inquiry into priority setting dynamics in the broader research publishing arena.en
