JOINIn the media | The Scholarly Kitchen: “Call for Feedback: STM Task & Finish Group (TFG) Image-type Taxonomy for Alt Text”
“The STM Association Alt Text Task & Finish Group (TFG) is excited to share its draft image-type taxonomy for scholarly images for comment and feedback. This taxonomy is a collaborative effort by members of the STM Association to develop a comprehensive classification system for images in scholarly publishing. In part, it is intended to assist authors and publishers in meeting the upcoming update to Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), going into effect April 24, 2026, and other global legislation. It also contributes to the industry effort to ensure journal content is as accessible and available to as broad an audience as possible.”
