STM launches sector-wide study on publisher-led research integrity efforts
STM has commissioned a major new study to explore how publishers are safeguarding the integrity of the scholarly record STM news release. The initiative, led by Research Consulting, will map practices across a wide range of publishing organizations, spanning quality checks, technology use, investigation procedures, and stakeholder collaboration.
The findings, expected in late 2025, aim to provide a clearer picture of how publishers are responding to threats to integrity and to identify effective and scalable strategies. This work builds on wider industry initiatives such as the STM Integrity Hub and United2Act, and is intended to inform ongoing collaboration across research.
