Where are we headed?

AI presents opportunities, threats and no shortage of questions.

For those of us working in scholarly communications, the pace of change can feel both exciting and disorienting. That’s why STM is creating space to ask the big questions, explore emerging challenges, and invite expert perspectives to help us navigate what comes next.

One way we’re doing this is through STM Trends—our annual futurecast for scholarly communication. Created by STM members through the collaborative STM Future Lab, STM Trends brings together the insights of industry leaders to map the most impactful shifts across the research ecosystem. It’s designed to spark ideas, catalyze innovation, and inspire shared action.

Ask us! We’d love to know what’s exciting you or turning over in your brain. We’ll work to get expert answers together — and share them here.
