Publishers Support Sustainable Open Access
STM on access
Following a meeting of its publishing Heads of House and ratification of its outcomes by the STM Board, STM has adopted the following policy statements on access.
- Publishers are committed to wide dissemination and unrestricted access to their content; the services that publishers provide must be paid for in some way.
- STM supports any and all models of access that are sustainable, and that ensure the integrity and permanence of the scholarly record on which progress is built.
- STM does not support unfunded mandates that constrain scholarly authors or affect the sustainability of the publishing enterprise.
