Cross Mark

CrossMark, a multi-publisher initiative from CrossRef, provides a standard way for readers to find authoritative versions of documents. Utility Project Solution publishers recognize the importance of the integrity and completeness of scholarly archives to researchers and librarians and place great importance on maintaining trust in the authority of their electronic archives. Clicking the CrossMark icon will inform readers about the current status of a document and may also provide additional publication record information about the document.

Updates to an Article

Updates to an article can take several forms, and all updates are communicated in the form of a notice in the publication, rather than directly changing the original article. These changes include:

Erratum (Correction, Addendum):
An erratum is a publisher-initiated change, either a correction or an addendum.

Corrigendum (Clarification):
A corrigendum is a change to a published article initiated by the author.

Expression of Concern:
This change occurs because the article is suspected of violating academic ethics and is still under investigation. And have corresponded with the author.

Retraction:
A retraction is a statement to withdraw an article that has already been published. Retractions occur because: a) the article is declared seriously flawed, for example, in terms of its findings and conclusions, or is proven to have plagiarized, b) it has been submitted more than once or has been published (multiple submissions/redundancy). The primary purpose of a retraction is to correct the literature and ensure its integrity rather than punish authors for misconduct. A retracted article does not have to be removed from printed copies of the journal (including those in libraries) or from electronic archives, but the "retracted article" status must be stated as clearly as possible.

Removal:
Removal is the removal of an article because: a) the article has legal issues and is the subject of litigation, b) the article causes serious health problems.

Withdrawal:
Withdrawal is the withdrawal of a manuscript before publication due to a known academic flaw.
