The industry of academic publications is a vital part for researchers, it is a structure that allows giving voice and visibility to researchers who put their work at the manage of others and different scientific communities for the development of other works and their spread in the scientific field.

There are many platforms that have emerged and where research is available to those who benefit from research papers or scientific publications. STM is the industry standard bearer for academic publishing, working along with its members to advance reliable research around the world. They are dedicated to communicating the world’s greatest discoveries with accuracy, clarity, and integrity.
