Our Mission

Publishing Open Research That Gives Back

At Researchers' Journal of Internal Medicine (RJIM), we believe that scientific knowledge should be freely shared—and that those who create and review it deserve recognition. Traditional publishing models often limit access and place financial burdens on researchers.

We’re building something different.

RJIM is part of Public Science Journals, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to equitable, open-access publishing. We use an honorarium model to compensate authors and peer reviewers for their valuable contributions, or to support charitable causes aligned with our mission:

Open access. Fair recognition. Research that gives back.

Specific Organizational Goals

1. Never Compromise the Science

At RJIM, scientific integrity comes first. Every manuscript undergoes a thorough, double-blind peer review process, evaluated by at least two qualified reviewers. To ensure the highest standards, we request information on reviewer expertise and qualifications—because rigorous, unbiased evaluation is essential to advancing trustworthy science.

2. Make Open Research Truly Open

Access to scientific knowledge should never be limited by cost. Too often, traditional journals place research behind paywalls, while open-access alternatives shift the burden to authors through high article processing charges.

At RJIM, we do things differently. As a nonprofit journal, we’re committed to putting researchers and readers first—with no paywalls, no submission fees, and no article processing charges.

Just freely available science for all.

Research materials in the shape of a heart, symbolizing our mission to publish free research that gives back.

3. Give Back

Scientific publishing is a 25 Billion Dollar industry—yet the researchers and reviewers who drive discovery often see none of it. RJIM is changing that.

We believe in recognizing and rewarding the people behind the science. That’s why we offer honorarium agreements to authors and peer reviewers as a way to value their contributions. And for those who choose to waive their honorarium, we provide the option to donate it to charitable causes—ensuring that every contribution continues to give back.

Because science should serve the public good—and recognize the people who make it possible.
