. . . Over the years STM has changed its character totally parallel to the deep structural changes in publishing: the times of the gentleman publisher running "his" company are all over: STM reflects now the professional, complex and specialized structure of publishing today. . .

. . . Its [STM] stewardship of initiatives like Research4Life have helped extend the reach of our contributions to many thousands of scholars and institutions in the developing world who are now able to put STM information to use in solving major problems of health, environment, and economic development. Congratulations on 40 years of partnership and contribution."

"Over the last 40 years, STM has done exactly what it has set out to do - be the voice of the scientific, technical and medical publishing community. The deep conversations held within STM on key matters such as copyright and piracy have become indispensible, especially in the mists of a rapidly changing publishing landscape"
Dr. Alicia Wise, Chief Executive
