    STM’s FIRST ASIA PACIFIC MEMBERS MEETING

    Aim

    STM is a global organisation with a worldwide membership. We have held regular member meetings in Europe and the US for many years. As part of our 50th birthday year we are now expanding these events into Asia with the first a new series of annual member conferences for the Asia Pacific region.  In 2018 China became the leading producer of scholarly papers and other nations in the APAC region are rapidly expanding too. We believe that STM publishing must now focus on this new dimension as never before.

    Topics

    • The part being played by China, Japan and other leading countries in STM publishing in the region and the world
    • The role of APAC research funders and how they may interact with current developments in the rest of the world.
    • Specific initiatives of publishers, universities and finders in the region
