JMIR Publications, a publisher of academic journals dedicated to digital health and open science, has joined the International Association of Scientific, Technical and Medical Publishers (STM), the global trade association for academic and professional publishers. JMIR Publications is also integrating STM Integrity Hub into its routine operations to further support the integrity and high quality of scholarly publishing and the published scientific record. STM Integrity Hub is a platform where publishers can collaborate, share insights and knowledge about how paper mills operate, and co-create technology solutions. The Hub enables publishers of all sizes to access sophisticated fraud detection capabilities, all while informing independent publisher-by-publisher decisions about how to use the information the Hub provides. Tiffany Leung, MD, MPH, Scientific Editorial Director at JMIR Publications, emphasizes the importance of ensuring readers can trust published scientific discoveries and findings in contemporary times. JMIR Publications is committed to upholding ethical standards that support open science and access to high-quality research on digital medicine, health technology, and health sciences. By implementing STM Integrity Hub, JMIR Publications joins a community of STM publishers dedicated to advancing science through concrete steps to maintain trust in the work they publish. Caroline Sutton, CEO of STM, welcomes JMIR Publications as both a new STM member and a participant in the STM Integrity Hub, highlighting the broader commitment within the community to uphold research integrity and reinforce the important role JMIR Publications is playing in strengthening trusted research.
