Eradicating Paywalls in Translational Medicine

The Journal of Grab Medical Innovations (J. Grab Med. Innov.) was established under the Swiss Civil Code (Stiftung Register #CHE-482.910.124) by international clinical investigators, biomedical engineers, and philanthropic donors committed to dismantling artificial friction in biomedical research dissemination.

In standard commercial academic publishing, exorbitant Article Processing Charges (often exceeding $4,500 per manuscript) exclude underfunded public health centers, early-career surgeons, and developing nation institutions from publishing breakthroughs. Simultaneously, legacy subscription barriers withhold life-saving clinical trial protocols from bedside practitioners.

Our foundation addresses these challenges through two complementary commitments: removing financial barriers for authors and making research freely available to readers.

DEMOCRATIZING ACCESS

Eliminate financial barriers to biomedical publishing and make peer-reviewed research freely accessible to clinicians and researchers worldwide.

ADVANCING CLINICAL SCIENCE

Support rigorous, transparent research dissemination to help bridge the gap between scientific discovery and clinical practice.

Governance & Editorial Independence

Governance & Editorial Independence

Our governance framework ensures editorial independence, rigorous peer review, and long-term research accessibility.

Editorial Autonomy & Anti-Commercial Firewall

The Foundation Charter explicitly stipulates that financial endowment trustees, corporate partners, and institutional sponsors retain zero votes or pre-publication access to submitted manuscripts.

  • Zero commercial editorial influence
  • No sponsor pre-publication access
  • Independent editorial decisions

Cryptographic Triple-Blind Appraisal

Every submission undergoes algorithmic sanitization stripping author names, institution affiliations, and proprietary telemetry stamps before triage, ensuring evaluation purely on clinical efficacy and rigor.

  • Author identity anonymization
  • Institutional details concealed
  • Independent manuscript evaluation

Archival Permanence & Open Science

All research must conform to FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable). Clinical trial datasets and computational code must be deposited into permanent public repositories.

  • FAIR research principles
  • Permanent public repositories
  • Open science compliance
