A recent publication in the journal PLOS Medicine has criticized the use of the term "low- and middle-income countries" (LMICs) in global health literature and discourse. The authors argue that this term oversimplifies the relationship between individual LMICs and perpetuates inequities and divisions. They call for a more equitable term to describe countries in the Global South. The authors also emphasize the need for customized studies, bi-directional knowledge transfer, and the inclusion of local knowledge and resources in research. They suggest using "Global South" and "Global North" as more equitable terms in global research Vocabulary.
