how might we advance trusted research? Particularly during a time of continuing, rapid change in scholarly communications, change that is bringing new opportunities as well as new, unprecedented threats?</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dozens of interviews were conducted with representatives from throughout the scholarly publishing ecosystem. Authors, funders, policymakers, pundits, infrastructure developers, librarians.

By making research more open and inclusive, it offers a pathway to reducing disparities in scientific participation. STM is focusing on Open Science because it can accelerate innovation, improve collaboration and ensure that knowledge reaches all corners of the world, benefiting not only the scientific community but also society as a whole.</span></p> </div> </div> <a class="grid__callout__learnmore_btn" href="https://stm-assoc.org/what-we-do/strategic-areas/open-research/">LEARN MORE<img src="https://stm-assoc.org/wp-content/themes/stmpress/images/stm-btnarrow.png" /></a> </div> <div class="grid__item --clickable-block style-blue" > <div> <h3>Research integrity</h3> <div class="grid__callout_description"><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At the same time, society is grappling with the challenge of discerning truth in a landscape where misinformation, both deliberate and unintentional, is widespread. As we embrace Open Science, STM recognises the critical need to safeguard the integrity of research. We are committed to developing new methods, and to advancing policies and practices, that protect scientific work from distortion, and ensuring that trust in the scientific record remains strong.</span></p> </div> </div> <a class="grid__callout__learnmore_btn" href="https://stm-assoc.org/what-we-do/strategic-areas/research-integrity/">LEARN MORE<img src="https://stm-assoc.org/wp-content/themes/stmpress/images/stm-btnarrow.png" /></a> </div> <div class="grid__item --clickable-block style-red" > <div> <h3>Social responsibility</h3> <div class="grid__callout_description"><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">STM is focusing on social responsibility because research plays a critical role in shaping the future of communities, economies and the environment. We are committed to ensuring that the publishing community has the information, tools and resources to operate in a way that not only recognises the role of research in advancing social responsibility but also acknowledges the responsibility of publishers themselves. By ensuring that our practices serve the greater good, we contribute to a more equitable and informed world.</span></p> </div> </div> <a class="grid__callout__learnmore_btn" href="https://stm-assoc.org/what-we-do/strategic-areas/social-responsibility/">LEARN MORE<img src="https://stm-assoc.org/wp-content/themes/stmpress/images/stm-btnarrow.png" /></a> </div> <div class="grid__item --clickable-block style-purple" > <div> <h3>Standards & technology</h3> <div class="grid__callout_description"><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Focusing on standards and technology is essential in a world where dramatic advancements in technology, including AI, are already impacting scholarly publishing. These developments present both opportunities and challenges, making it critical for STM to support publishers in navigating this evolving landscape.
