Despite the acknowledged injustice and widespread existence of parachute research studies conducted in low- or middle-income countries by researchers from institutions in high-income countries, there is currently no pragmatic guidance for how academic journals should evaluate manuscript submissions and challenge this practice. We assembled a multidisciplinary group of editors and researchers with expertise in international health research to develop this consensus statement. We reviewed relevant existing literature and held three workshops to present research data and holistically discuss the concept of equitable authorship and the role of academic journals in the context of international health research partnerships. We subsequently developed statements to guide prospective authors and journal editors as to how they should address this issue. We recommend that for manuscripts that report research conducted in low- or middle-income countries by collaborations including partners from one or more high-income countries, authors should submit accompanying structured reflexivity statements. We provide specific questions that these statements should address and suggest that journals should transparently publish reflexivity statements with accepted manuscripts. We also provide guidance to journal editors about how they should assess the structured statements when making decisions on whether to accept or reject submitted manuscripts. We urge journals across disciplines to adopt these recommendations to accelerate the changes needed to halt the practice of parachute research.

关于在国际合作伙伴研究发表中促进作者平等的措施的共识声明

尽管高收入国家机构的研究人员在低收入或中等收入国家进行的降落伞研究普遍存在公认的不公正和普遍存在，但目前还没有关于学术期刊应如何评估稿件提交和挑战这种做法的实用指南。我们召集了一个由具有国际健康研究专业知识的编辑和研究人员组成的多学科小组来制定这份共识声明。我们回顾了相关的现有文献，并举办了三场研讨会来展示研究数据，并全面讨论公平作者的概念以及学术期刊在国际卫生研究伙伴关系背景下的作用。我们随后制定了声明来指导未来的作者和期刊编辑他们应该如何解决这个问题。我们建议，对于报告由一个或多个高收入国家的合作伙伴在低收入或中等收入国家开展的研究的手稿，作者应提交随附的结构化反思性声明。我们提供了这些声明应该解决的具体问题，并建议期刊应该透明地发布带有接受稿件的反身性声明。我们还为期刊编辑提供指导，指导他们在决定是否接受或拒绝提交的稿件时应如何评估结构化陈述。我们敦促跨学科的期刊采纳这些建议，以加速停止降落伞研究实践所需的变革。
