ICSTI Mission & Vision


Our Mission

  • ICSTI, an international not-for-profit membership organization, facilitates cooperation among all stakeholders engaged in the scientific communication process with the aim of improving the effectiveness of scientific research. We fully exploit our unique position at the intersection of scientific and technical knowledge creation, organization, dissemination, and use, to identify and act upon key challenges, without politicized or commercially driven agenda.

A Vision for the Future

  • ICSTI will address the drivers for change and undertake initiatives of direct relevance to current and future scholarly communication concerns. Central among these are the enabling of innovation, assessment of the impact of new technologies on science research communication, and the demands of ‘next generation' information users. We will actively promote and provide a forum for the exchange of experience, expertise, and understanding, and create the opportunity for organizational networking and collaboration across the scientific and technical information communities.
