(Press-News.org) (Toronto, November 24, 2025) JMIR Publications, a leading publisher of academic journals dedicated to digital health and open science, today announced that it has joined the International Association of Scientific, Technical and Medical Publishers (STM), the global trade association for academic and professional publishers. In addition, JMIR Publications is integrating STM Integrity Hub into routine operations to further support the integrity and high quality of scholarly publishing and the published scientific record.
STM Integrity Hub is a platform where publishers can collaborate, share insights and knowledge about how paper mills operate, and co-create technology solutions. The Hub enables publishers of all sizes to access sophisticated fraud detection capabilities, all while informing independent publisher-by-publisher decisions about how to use the information the Hub provides.
"Assuring that readers can trust published scientific discoveries and findings is essential in contemporary times," says Tiffany Leung, MD, MPH, Scientific Editorial Director at JMIR Publications. "JMIR Publications is committed to upholding ethical standards that support open science and access to our high-quality research on digital medicine, health technology, and health sciences.”
By implementing STM Integrity Hub, JMIR Publications joins a community of STM publishers in its dedication to advancing science through concrete steps to maintain trust in the work that we publish.
“We welcome JMIR Publications as both a new STM member and a participant in the STM Integrity Hub,” said Caroline Sutton, CEO of STM. “Their participation reflects the broader, continuing commitment within our community to uphold research integrity, and it reinforces the important role JMIR Publications is choosing to play in strengthening trusted research.”

NCSA receives honors in 2025 HPCwire Readers’ and Editors’ Choice Awards
2025-11-24
The National Center for Supercomputing Applications was recognized for its outstanding achievements in two different domains in the annual HPCwire Readers’ and Editors’ Choice Awards announced at Supercomputing Conference 2025 (SC25) in St. Louis on November 17. It’s the 15th consecutive year NCSA has been honored with an HPCwire award.
Both awards centered around research that utilized NCSA’s premier supercomputing systems Delta and DeltaAI. The first team published novel research on using artificial intelligence to monitor inaccessible locations of nuclear energy systems, enhancing their ...
New study reveals that differences between parent and child views best assess quality of life after pediatric liver transplant
2025-11-24
New York, NY (November 24, 2025)—Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have uncovered a new way to understand how children fare after liver transplantation: by focusing not on medical test results, but on how differently parents and children perceive the child’s well-being.
The findings, published in The Journal of Pediatrics, come from the first multisite prospective trial to evaluate real-time discrepancies in patient-reported outcomes for pediatric liver transplant recipients.
The study included 140 parent-child pairs across seven transplant centers in the United States ...
Shapeshifting cancers’ masters, unmasked
2025-11-24
Some tumors are almost impossible to treat. That’s especially true for carcinomas, which don’t behave like other malignancies. Some of these tumors act as shapeshifters and start to resemble cells from other organs of the human body, such as skin. This bizarre behavior presents a challenge for existing therapies. “The tumors are notoriously plastic in their cellular identity,” says Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) Professor Christopher Vakoc. Some may even change to escape cancer treatment.

Pusan National University researchers develop model to accurately predict vessel turnaround time
2025-11-24
In the 21st century, as global trade expands and cargo volumes surge, ports face mounting pressure to operate efficiently. A key challenge lies in accurately predicting vessel turnaround time (VTT)—the period between a ship’s arrival and departure—which directly influences scheduling, congestion management, and energy use. Traditionally, forecasting methods have relied on static factors, such as vessel specifications or container volumes, which fail to capture the highly dynamic ...
Nanowire breakthrough reveals elusive astrocytes
2025-11-24
Scientists have engineered a nanowire platform that mimics brain tissue to study astrocytes, the star-shaped cells critical for brain health, for the first time in their natural state.
Astrocytes are the brain’s most abundent and mysterious cells, responsible for regulating communication between neurons and helping to maintain the blood-brain barrier. They are also highly dynamic shape-shifters, someething they do not do on typical petri dishes, leaving major gaps in our understanding of how they ...
Novel liver cancer vaccine achieves responses in rare disease affecting children and young adults
2025-11-24
**EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE UNTIL NOV. 24 AT 5 A.M. ET**
An experimental cancer vaccine developed at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and its Bloomberg~Kimmel Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy has shown early promise in a phase I clinical trial for a rare form of liver cancer that primarily affects children and young adults. The trial, led by investigators at Johns Hopkins and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, was supported by the National Cancer Institute and the Fibrolamellar Cancer Foundation.
In the study, 75% of participants (nine patients) with fibrolamellar carcinoma (FLC) experienced disease control, including stable disease or measurable immune responses. ...
International study finds gene linked with risk of delirium
2025-11-24
A major genetic risk factor for delirium has been identified in a landmark study that analysed the DNA of more than one million people worldwide.
The study found that APOE, a gene already well known for its role in Alzheimer’s disease, also increases a person’s risk of developing delirium – a common medical condition characterised by a state of sudden mental confusion.
Experts say this effect cannot be explained solely by the gene’s link to dementia, suggesting it also plays a distinctive, direct role in delirium.
The ...
Evidence suggests early developing human brains are preconfigured with instructions for understanding the world
2025-11-24
Humans have long wondered when and how we begin to form thoughts. Are we born with a pre-configured brain, or do thought patterns only begin to emerge in response to our sensory experiences of the world around us? Now, science is getting closer to answering the questions philosophers have pondered for centuries.
Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, are using tiny models of human brain tissue, called organoids, to study the earliest moments of electrical activity in the brain. A new study in Nature Neuroscience finds that the earliest firings of the brain ...
Absolutely metal: scientists capture footage of crystals growing in liquid metal
2025-11-24
Researchers have successfully grown platinum crystals in liquid metal, using a powerful X-ray technique giving rare insight into how these delicate crystals form and grow.
More than a beautiful curiosity, liquid metal-grown crystals could be the key to creating new materials. They are potentially a vital ingredient in new technology being developed to extract hydrogen from water and in quantum computing applications.
Published in Nature Communications, the University of Sydney led team used metallic crystals to build an electrode that can efficiently produce hydrogen from water.
Liquid metals like Gallium are curious elements. They shimmer on the surface like solid metals ...
Orangutans can’t master their complex diets without cultural knowledge
2025-11-24
When a wild orangutan leaves its mother after spending many years by her side, it has a mental catalog of almost 250 edible plants and animals, and the knowledge of how to acquire and process them.
A new study in Nature Human Behaviour reveals that no lone orangutan could build this encyclopedic knowledge through trial and error. Instead, this knowledge forms a “culturally-dependent repertoire”— a diverse set of knowledge that is only attainable through years of watching and exploring alongside others.
As humans, ...
