Join ICSTI

"What I value most about ICSTI is its role as a networking platform for stakeholders and interested parties from the fields of science, information infrastructures, and science policy. Open Science and Open Access are massively changing the research landscape. Scientific workflows are becoming more collaborative, reproducible, and transparent, and there are many new opportunities for scientific impact. Information infrastructures, such as scientific libraries and information centers, play a critical role in the success of this digital transformation—a good reason to sit down together at the same table and share experiences."

Being an ICSTI member has provided "insight into most recent international trends & developments, topics and expert discourse in the environment of scientific and technical information providers" and "inspiration (and motivation to work even harder) through experiencing a sense of shared purpose amongst thought leaders, critical thinkers, experienced practitioners and innovative "doers" working towards building infrastructures and services that can be regarded as the (invisible) backbone of our information and knowledge society."

"By participating in ICSTI events we at JST were able to renew our knowledge and recognition of scholarly information business. In Japan there are very few channels to catch up with global trends, and I believe ICSTI has offered us a window to the world of scholarly communication. Being a member of a global organization [allows us] to synchronize our knowledge and recognition with global stakeholders."
