JOINResearch Integrity
Integrity is the cornerstone of trustworthy research. STM is dedicated to upholding high standards of ethics and integrity in research publishing. We work closely with our members to address issues related to research integrity and ethics, ensuring that the research communication process is transparent, accountable and credible. By advancing research integrity, we contribute to the reliability and trustworthiness of scholarly publications.
Social Responsibility
Research does not exist in a vacuum; it intersects with broader social values. STM recognises the importance of social responsibility in research communication. We focus on issues such as equality, diversity, inclusion, sustainability and alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By advancing social responsibility, we ensure that the research publishing industry and STM itself contribute positively to society and reflect the values of the communities we serve.
Open Research
STM is committed to fostering openness in research by supporting Open Access, Open Data and Open Infrastructure. We address the legal, policy, communications and technological aspects of open research, advocating for greater transparency and accessibility. By advancing open research, we help to break down barriers, enabling the free flow of knowledge and promoting innovation across the globe.
Standards and Technology
Innovation in technology and the development of shared standards are critical to the future of scholarly communication. STM is at the forefront of exploring how the industry can achieve its goals through collaborative efforts in standards development and the implementation of cutting-edge technology solutions. Our operational arm, STM Solutions, plays a key role in this area, driving the adoption of common standards and technological advancements that support openness, integrity and social responsibility.
