Barriers to Publishing Medical Research From Limited‐Resource Settings: The Case of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Summary Researchers in Bosnia and Herzegovina face systemic barriers to publishing, including scarce funding and weak institutional support. Limited mentorship and low research literacy increase vulnerability to predatory journals and conferences. Fragmented academic and healthcare systems hinder collaboration and international visibility. Financial constraints and APC costs divert high‐quality local research away from mainstream journals. Practical reforms should focus on research support offices, regional collaborations, and improved promotion criteria.

Abstract

Summary Researchers in Bosnia and Herzegovina face systemic barriers to publishing, including scarce funding and weak institutional support. Limited mentorship and low research literacy increase vulnerability to predatory journals and conferences. Fragmented academic and healthcare systems hinder collaboration and international visibility. Financial constraints and APC costs divert high‐quality local research away from mainstream journals. Practical reforms should focus on research support offices, regional collaborations, and improved promotion criteria.
