Institute—known more widely by its acronym JNCI—is recognized for its commitment to excellence. By every metric and reputational criterion, this medical journal is among the leaders in the highly competitive academic publishing space for oncology and cancer research. The scientific knowledge that JNCI brings to medicine and public health is central to its brand recognition. Surely, external metrics of impact keep attracting content to us, but, in retrospect, it is the attention to the quality of science, ethical principles, and scholarship that epitomize the intangible values indelibly associated with JNCI. Our readers are aware that the world of academic publishing is changing rapidly. The open access model is gradually becoming the rule rather than the exception. Launching mega-journals that emphasize the soundness of science over novelty and perceived impact has been economically successful for publishers. This has led some bad actors to take advantage of the opportunity brought by the author-pays open access model. Alternative models of peer review and preprint archiving have become popular in the industry and well received by authors. In addition, publishers of premium medical journals are increasingly leveraging their brand recognition to launch offspring specialty journals that attract submissions from authors expecting to be associated with the name of the parent journal. Many of these are oncology or cancer medicine titles.How can JNCI maintain its reputation and even enhance it at a time when values, principles, and publishing models are in such a state of flux? Our editorial vision is anchored not on the zeitgeist of the present era but on pillars that will always be structurally unassailable, such as value to our readers, scholarship, scientific validity, ethics, promotion of a life-long learning environment, and the pursuit of a socially responsible agenda of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). We interpret the latter by adding geography to the core DEI constructs of gender, race, and economic means. The rationale is more than a tautological statement of being a just cause; pursuing a global oncology agenda is also a pragmatic strategy, which will diversify our content with prominent evidence on cancer control and care that is likely to influence policy where it is most needed. We should thus commit
