Research doesn’t stand still: even after publication, articles can be updated with supplementary data or corrections. It’s important to know if the content being cited has been updated, corrected, or retracted. Crossmark makes this information more visible to readers.

By introducing the CrossMark logo, A&R commits to maintaining the integrity and accuracy of its published content; proactively alerting readers to any changes, updates, or corrections to the content over time.

Clicking the CrossMark logo on an A&R document will reveal its current status (e.g., "current," "retracted," or "corrected") and may include additional publication-record details, such as links to errata, retractions, or updated versions. For full details on how CrossMark works across participating publishers, visit the CrossMark site.

All correction or retraction notices will be prominently linked to the original article on the A&R platform, ensuring transparency and traceability. For detailed guidance on COPE’s retraction standards, please refer to the COPE Retraction Guidelines.
