Below is a hand-crafted list of papers that describe STIR.
There is also a corresponding (and more useful)
database on CiteULike. If you use a specific STIR feature described in one of these papers, a reference would be appreciated.
A (probably incomplete) list of references to papers that use STIR is available on this CiteULike page.
There's a Wiki page with instructions on how to add your
own paper to those lists.

.
This paper describes an alternative regularisation method for EMML using
inter-update filtering (which is somewhat similar to inter-iteration filtering).
It also describes the subset scheme used by STIR and gives some details on the
parallelisation scheme used during PARAPET (which formed the basis for the current STIR MPI work).

Convergence Optimization of Parametric MLEM Reconstruction for Estimation of Patlak Plot Parameters,
Journal Computerized Medical Imaging and Graphics (Feb 2011)
This study reveals how direct iterative reconstruction of kinetic parameters from the
measured (FDOPA) data can be performed optimally (using STIR release 2.1). It explains how to
optimize the speed of the algorithm minimizing bias; and it compares the results with analytic reconstructions.

Comparative evaluation of scatter correction in 3D PET using different
scatter-level approximations,
Annals of Nuclear Medicine (July 2011)
This paper describes how to perform scatter correction using STIR
and it evaluates its accuracy versus SimSET scatter estimation.
Results demonstrate that in many cases scaling the single
scatter distribution is a reasonable approximation to compensate for total
scatter, especially if scaling is based on a global fit.

We have performed two realistic numerical 4D simulation study to compare the two main approaches for PET motion-compensation: motion correction within reconstruction versus post-reconstruction (Polycarpou et al, 2012) including median-root-prior regularisation (Tsoumpas, et al 2013) . Both techniques are based on the same iterative reconstruction algorithm in STIR (i.e. OSMAPOSL) approaches are available in the 2.4 release.
