CrossMark

CrossMark is an initiative of CrossRef to provide a normalized form of locating the current version of a document. By including the CrossMark button, the journal acknowledges the significance of upholding the integrity of academic and scientific records, ensuring the access to their latest update.

In this way, the journal is committed to support the maintenance of the content it publishes and to register the modifications or updates that affect it immediately. The CrossMark logo informs the reader of the current state of a document and provides additional information about its publication record, like the information about the sources of funding and the ORCID IDs of the authors (if they are available). It allows users to know if the texts published in the journal have been corrected, retracted or updated after their publication. In this manner, the updated version will substitute the original, indicating the changes made.
