CrossMark Policy

WellSafe participates in the CrossMark initiative to provide readers with a reliable way to determine the current status of published content. This service helps maintain the integrity of the scholarly record by signaling updates, corrections, or retractions.

Purpose

CrossMark allows readers to quickly verify whether an article is up to date and whether any updates, corrections, or retractions have occurred since publication.

Implementation

• All published articles will display the CrossMark logo to indicate inclusion in the initiative.
• Clicking the CrossMark logo provides metadata on the article's current status and any associated updates.
• Authors and readers are informed of the importance of maintaining accuracy and promptly reporting errors.

Benefits

• Enhances transparency and trust in scholarly publishing.
• Ensures readers are aware of the latest and most accurate information.
• Supports ethical publishing practices by tracking corrections and retractions.

Through the CrossMark policy, WellSafe reinforces its commitment to maintaining a reliable, transparent, and up-to-date academic record.
