This editorial unveils Frontiers in Preventive Medicine, empowering young scholars with zero Article Processing Charges, promoting equity in public health research.
This inaugural editorial announces the launch of Frontiers in Preventive Medicine (FPM), a pioneering open-access journal established under the Public Health Young Scholars Alliance. In response to the prohibitive costs of traditional academic publishing that often marginalize early-career researchers, FPM is committed to fostering an equitable, non-profit platform for knowledge dissemination. We outline our core mission: to empower young scholars by removing financial barriers, demonstrated by our landmark waiver of all Article Processing Charges until December 2026. Beyond this period, a sustainable low-cost model will be adopted. The journal is dedicated to publishing high-quality, rigorously peer-reviewed research across the spectrum of preventive medicine, with the ultimate goal of nurturing the next generation of leaders and contributing to a more resilient and equitable future for global public health.
