Introduction
GaBI Journal (official Journal of the Generics and Biosimilars Initiative) is an independent and peer reviewed academic Journal, which encompasses all aspects of generic and biosimilar medicines development and use, from fundamental research up to clinical application and policies.
Mission Statement
The mission of GaBI Journal is to provide an independent, high quality, authoritative, and peer reviewed platform for the publication of scientific articles concerning any aspect of the research into and development of cost-effective medicines, irrespective of their source.
