The Editorial and Publications Division runs the publishing arm of the institute, including the proposed Sterling IMRES Press. It manages editorial standards, peer review, authorship policy, metadata and distribution.
Books, journals, reports, editorial standards, peer review and publishing operations.
Verified Sterling IMRES staff will be listed here. Until then, these are the people credited on this division’s library works (not institute staff).
This division’s scope is mainly methodological or editorial, so no registered clinical studies are tracked yet.
The first technical build of the institutional website: a multi-page Next.js and TypeScript application with content hubs, dynamic detail routes and typed local content that can later move to a CMS or database.
Sign-in and sign-up backed by Supabase authentication, with each login mapped to a user or administrator role and an upload permission, as the blueprint requires before any admin area is introduced.
A curated, verified library of published articles, reference books and registered studies for each of the nine divisions. Every record is checked against an authoritative source (Crossref, ISBN catalogues or ClinicalTrials.gov) and credited to its real authors and publisher.
