In response to demand from members, ICSTI Insights present in-depth analytical reviews of critical issues and events affecting the processes of scientific research and communication. The topics for each Insight are chosen by the ICSTI membership to ensure relevance and each article is commissioned specifically to reflect the priority interests and concerns of the ICSTI member readership and to prompt interactive commentary between members.

Following the release of two pilot issues in mid 2008 ICSTI Insights was launched as a quarterly, e-only communiqué in January 2009. Below is a list of the ICSTI Insights presented in the date order in which they will have been published.

ICSTI Insights are produced for the benefit of members but will be made available in the public domain for non-members to access on a rolling basis one year after their original release. Members and non-members are encouraged to give feedback to the Secretariat on the value of ICSTI Insights and to suggest subjects for future coverage.
