CrossMark Policy

Environmental Reports is committed to maintaining the highest standards of research integrity and providing transparency around our published content. To support this, we participate in the CrossMark initiative, which ensures that readers can trust the status of the content they access.

What is CrossMark?

CrossMark is a multi-publisher initiative from CrossRef that provides a standard way for readers to locate the current version of a piece of content. By clicking the CrossMark logo on any article, readers can view information about the article’s update status, ensuring that they are accessing the most reliable version.

Content Updates and Corrections

In the event that any updates, corrections, or retractions are necessary after publication, they will be clearly indicated via the CrossMark icon on the article. This helps readers easily identify if the content has been revised or corrected due to errors, updates in research, or any other reason.

Environmental Reports is dedicated to keeping all published material up to date. Any significant changes will be detailed and made transparent to ensure the integrity of the research record.

Types of Updates Covered by CrossMark

Corrections: Minor corrections to the published content, such as typographical errors or clarifications.
Retractions: In cases where a published article is found to contain significant errors or ethical issues, a retraction may be issued, and this will be clearly marked.
Updates: In rare cases, additional updates may be made to reflect advancements in research related to the article.

By adopting the CrossMark policy, Environmental Reports ensures the ongoing reliability of its published content, enhancing trust and transparency in the scholarly communication process.
