Here, publishers can effectively and efficiently respond to the increasing and alarming volume of materials entering scholarly communications that violate accepted research integrity. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">More specifically, the STM Integrity Hub will provide a cloud-based environment for publishers to check submitted articles for research integrity issues, consistent with applicable laws and industry best practice and fully respecting the laws and ethics of data privacy and competition/anti-trust laws. In this environment, publishers may collaborate with other parties of their choosing to develop and operate screening tools for the benefit of the entire scholarly ecosystem.</span></p> <p><strong>Think of it as a knowledge exchange: where publishers may share experiences and learnings regarding how best to safeguard research integrity in science; a think tank for policy and legal frameworks; and a living library of infrastructure and tools.</strong></p> </div> <div class="flex__general_content_area_sidebar sidebarstyle-yellow"> <h2 class="flex__general_content_area_sidebar_headline">In the news</h2> <div class="flex__general_content_area_sidebar_divider"></div> <ul class="flex_general_content_area_sidebar_links"> <li><a href="https://stm-assoc.org/the-stm-integrity-hub-2-5-years-in/">The STM Integrity Hub: 2.5 years in</a></li> <li><a href="https://stm-assoc.org/integrity-hub-continues-to-gain-momentum-with-inclusion-of-pubpeer-database-in-screening-tool/">Integrity Hub continues to gain momentum with inclusion of PubPeer database in screening tool</a></li> <li><a href="https://stm-assoc.org/manuscript-manager-joins-stm-integrity-hub/">Manuscript Manager joins STM Integrity Hub</a></li> <li><a href="https://stm-assoc.org/stm-integrity-hub-incorporates-clear-skies-papermill-alarm-screening-tool/">STM Integrity Hub incorporates Clear Skies' Papermill Alarm screening tool</a></li> <li><a href="https://stm-assoc.org/papermillchecker/">STM Solutions releases MVP of new paper mill detection tool</a></li> </ul> </div> </section> <section class="flex__general_content_area flex_general_content_area__columns-1 flex_general_content_area__columnstyle---no-sidebar sidebar"> <div class="flex__general_content_area-inner"> <div class="block__heading"> <h2>Mission</h2> <div class="block__heading-divider"></div> </div> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">to equip the scholarly communication community with data, intelligence, and technology to protect research integrity.
