I asked a similar question in my last post (and risk sounding like a broken record), but to be fair, these questions can never really get old.
Because evidence informs future (cancer) policy planning.
The new AORTIC- Africa Journal of Cancer Research will publish African evidence, for Africa first, providing opportunities for the world to learn from us as well.
Reputable journals globally help shape international policy and practice worldwide.
Africa is now also beginning to develop its own trusted, visible homes for our own evidence, shaped by us, for us.
PS: The AORTICJournal will:
- Publish African evidence first, so our realities and innovations are seen, cited, and acted on, not lost.
- Connect researchers across the continent, so no one feels alone trying to solve the same challenge others have tackled.
- Give local solutions global credibility, showing the world that Africa is not just a data source; we are knowledge producers and thought leaders.
- Enhance impactful collaboration, providing a platform for transformative exchanges among local researchers, the diaspora, and the broader global community to facilitate bidirectional learning
This is more than pages in a journal; it is how we document our progress and tell our stories. It is how we ensure our African populations are seen, heard, and represented. It is how we rewrite the narrative.
Finally, we are setting the agenda, driving the solutions, and inspiring better care everywhere.”
