Building the infrastructure that good research deserves.
Link Medical Interface is a Lahore-based organisation bringing scholarly publishing, research support, professional education and physiotherapy care into one connected platform.
Our journey began with clinical practice in 2010 and grew from a simple conviction: meaningful work deserves the right structure around it. Researchers need clear guidance. Authors need credible publishing pathways. Professionals need practical opportunities to learn. Patients need care that begins with listening.
Today, these commitments come together through four connected areas of work, each guided by integrity, accessibility and respect.

Publisher Policies
One comprehensive policy framework supporting consistent editorial, ethical and governance standards across our journals.
2010
Rooted in Practice
Our work grew from physiotherapy and rehabilitation practice and expanded into research, education and scholarly publishing.
What We Do
One institution. Four connected areas of service.
Research does not begin at manuscript submission, and care does not end at the clinic door.
Our four divisions are designed to support the wider journey—from asking better questions and developing stronger professional skills to sharing knowledge responsibly and providing person-centred care.
01
Publishing
Scholarly publishing with standards that are clear.
LMI Publishers manages a portfolio of peer-reviewed, open-access journals across health and allied disciplines.
Our publishing model is built around transparent journal identities, documented editorial procedures, independent peer review, responsible research reporting and clearly stated author rights.

Research
Practical support for meaningful research.
The Office of Research, Innovation and Commercialization supports clinicians, researchers and institutions that may not have access to a dedicated research office of their own.
Our work includes research design, methodology, ethics preparation, grant development, partnerships, training, innovation and responsible pathways towards commercialization.

Education
Learning designed for real professional work.
Our education and events programmes focus on the capabilities professionals are often expected to have but are rarely taught systematically.
These include research methodology, scientific writing, publication ethics, evidence-informed practice and professional development across health and research settings.

Care
Physiotherapy care centred on the person.
Link Medical Centre provides assessment-led physiotherapy and rehabilitation for musculoskeletal, sports, post-operative, neurological, respiratory and age-related conditions.
Care is available at the clinic, at home and through telehealth, according to individual needs and clinical suitability.
Visit Link Medical CentreTransparency in Practice
Standards you can see.
Trust grows when people can understand how an institution works.
We make essential information available to authors, reviewers, researchers, patients, partners and evaluators so that our work can be considered on the basis of evidence rather than assumption.
Clear identities for every journal
Each journal presents its full title, ISSN, publication frequency, publisher, editorial contact and current indexing information in a consistent and accessible format.
View Our JournalsKnowledge intended to be read and shared
Our journals provide open access to published research under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licence.
Licensing, copyright and author rights are stated clearly so that published work can be used, shared and cited responsibly.
Read the Publishing FrameworkEditorial decisions informed by expertise
Research articles undergo double-blind peer review by at least two suitably qualified reviewers.
Editorial decisions are guided by relevance, methodological quality, ethical integrity and the evidence provided through review.
Read About Publication EthicsSupporting the continuing availability of research
Our publishing framework includes documented archiving and digital-preservation arrangements intended to protect the long-term availability of published journal content.
View the Publishing FrameworkResponsibility made visible
The legal ownership, management structure, journal-publisher relationships and relevant organisational connections are publicly disclosed.
Editorial, ethics, financial and complaints functions are separated where independence is important.
View Ownership and ManagementA clear route for concerns
Authors, reviewers, researchers, learners, patients and members of the public can raise concerns through a documented complaints and appeals process.
Complaints are routed to an external chair, with published acknowledgement and resolution timelines.
Read the Complaints and Appeals PolicyOur Purpose
Good work should not be limited by the absence of support.
Many capable clinicians, researchers and early-career academics work in environments where research support is fragmented or unavailable.
They may be expected to design a study, prepare an ethics application, analyse evidence, write clearly, respond to peer review and navigate publication—often without access to a research office or experienced editorial guidance.
Link Medical Interface was created to help close that gap.
We bring research support, professional education, scholarly publishing and clinical practice into one connected environment. Each area informs the others: clinical questions can inspire research, research can strengthen education, education can improve practice, and responsible publishing can carry useful knowledge further.
We believe that rigour and accessibility belong together.
Standards should be demanding, but processes should be understandable. Policies should protect quality without creating unnecessary distance. People should know what is expected, where to seek help and how decisions are made.
Our purpose is not simply to provide services. It is to build dependable pathways through which better questions can become better studies, better communication and, ultimately, better practice.
Learn More About LMIHow We Work
Guided by clarity, independence and respect.
Clarity Before Complexity
Policies, fees, responsibilities, timelines and routes for assistance should be understandable before a person is asked to make a commitment.
We aim to communicate in language that is precise, accessible and useful.
Standards Before Speed
Good decisions require appropriate evidence, review and professional judgement.
We do not allow pressure, payment or convenience to replace editorial, ethical or clinical standards.
Independence by Design
Independence is strengthened through structure.
Editorial decisions are separated from invoicing. Organisational leadership does not determine independent ethics decisions. Complaints are routed outside routine management.
Respect in Every Interaction
Authors, reviewers, researchers, learners, patients, staff and partners should encounter professionalism, dignity and timely communication.
Standards matter most when they are reflected in everyday conduct.
Responsible Commitments
Clear expectations create stronger relationships.
Responsible institutions are careful about the promises they make.
We focus on what we can deliver with integrity: fair procedures, accurate information, thoughtful review, professional communication and work guided by evidence.
Publication Decisions
Every submission is considered on its merits.
Submission to one of our journals does not determine the editorial outcome.
Manuscripts are assessed for relevance, quality, ethical integrity and suitability for the journal. Publication fees are considered only after a manuscript has been accepted through the editorial process.
Indexing and Recognition
We describe current status accurately.
Indexing, accreditation and recognition decisions are made by independent organisations.
We publish the current status of each journal clearly and update our public information when that status changes.
Clinical Care
Care begins with assessment.
Every patient is assessed individually before a treatment plan is recommended.
We explain clinical findings, discuss appropriate options and work towards meaningful goals without presenting a particular outcome as guaranteed.

Established through practice. Built for wider impact.
Link Medical Interface is a Lahore-based organisation working across health research, scholarly publishing, professional education and physiotherapy care.
Our story began in 2010 through the clinical practice now represented by Link Medical Centre and PhysioLink. Over time, that work expanded into research support, education and a portfolio of peer-reviewed journals.
Link Medical Interface was formally incorporated on 7 May 2024, creating one organisational structure for work that had developed across several connected fields.
