STM Integrity Hub in action: a chronicle

Launched in 2022, the STM Integrity Hub has grown into a collaborative platform that helps publishers safeguard the scholarly record. Today, more than 35 publishers are using the Hub to screen over 125,000 papers each month, intercepting around 1,000 suspected paper-mill submissions.  By combining shared tools, community intelligence, and trusted third-party integrations, the Hub enables publishers to detect potential threats earlier, strengthen editorial workflows, and uphold trust in research.  “This Integrity Hub in Action page captures just some of the progress under way,” said Joris van Rossum, Program Director, STM Solutions. “It highlights what we can achieve together to promote research integrity—and it will continue to evolve as the Hub grows and new contributions are made.”  With new members including JMIR Publications, IMR Press, and Maximum Academic Press, the Integrity Hub continues to expand as a collaborative force for transparency and reliability in science.
