DOI: https://doi.org/10.64006/crossmark

Purpose

CrossMark is a multi-publisher initiative by the CrossRef Organization to provide a standard way for readers to locate the authoritative version of a document. By applying the CrossMark logo, Nitee Publication demonstrates its commitment to maintaining the scholarly record and alerting readers to changes if and when they occur.

Publisher’s Commitment

Nitee Publication applies the CrossMark logo to all published content to ensure transparency, reliability, and trust in the scholarly record. This practice aligns with international standards followed by leading publishers such as Elsevier, Springer Nature, and Wiley, who use CrossMark to signal the authenticity and permanence of their publications.

Functionality

Clicking on the CrossMark logo provides:

• The current status of a document (e.g., whether it is the authoritative version).
• Information about updates, corrections, or retractions.
• Additional publication record details, ensuring readers always access the most reliable version.

CrossMark recognizes 12 defined types of accepted “updates.” Nitee Publication adheres to these categories:

• Addendum
• Clarification
• Correction
• Corrigendum
• Erratum
• Expression of Concern
• New Edition
