International authorship in leading world journals on incontinence and pelvic floor disorders: Is it truly international?

Objective: The primary aim of this study is to compare the authorship in the Journal of Neurourology and Urodynamics (NAU) and the International Urogynecology Journal (IUJ) across two categories: country members of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and non-members of OECD (non-OECD). The secondary aim is to explore the obstacles in publishing in these two journals.

Study Design: NAU and IUJ articles between June 2014 and June 2018 were manually screened and divided into 2 categories depending on the country of affiliation of the corresponding author: OECD versus non-OECD.
