International Association of Scientific, Technical, and Medical Publishers

The International Association of Scientific, Technical, and Medical Publishers, known for short by the initials for the last part of its name, STM, is an international trade association organised and run for the benefit of scholarly, scientific, technical, medical, and professional publishers.

It was conceived as the STM Group at the Frankfurt Book Fair of 1969 following discussions at the 1968 meeting of the International Publishers Association.

Its chief executive officer, Ian Moss, joined the organization in 2019, following the retirement of predecessor Michael Mabe (CEO 2006–2019).

STM announced on 16 November 2021 that its Board has appointed Caroline Sutton as the organization’s new Chief Executive Officer.

Sutton, who previously served as Director of Open Research for Taylor & Francis, started the position in February 2022.
