(Toronto, November 24, 2025) JMIR Publications, a leading publisher of academic journals dedicated to digital health and open science, today announced that it has joined the International Association of Scientific, Technical and Medical Publishers (STM), the global trade association for academic and professional publishers. In addition, JMIR Publications is integrating STM Integrity Hub into 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.
"Assuring that readers can trust published scientific discoveries and findings is essential in contemporary times," says Tiffany Leung, MD, MPH, Scientific Editorial Director at JMIR Publications. "JMIR Publications is committed to upholding ethical standards that support open science and access to our high-quality research on digital medicine, health technology, and health sciences.”
By implementing STM Integrity Hub, JMIR Publications joins a community of STM publishers in its dedication to advancing science through concrete steps to maintain trust in the work that we publish.
“We welcome JMIR Publications as both a new STM member and a participant in the STM Integrity Hub,” said Caroline Sutton, CEO of STM. “Their participation reflects the broader, continuing commitment within our community to uphold research integrity, and it reinforces the important role JMIR Publications is choosing to play in strengthening trusted research.”
