CrossMark Policy
The Journal uses the CrossMark service to maintain content in an up-to-date state and to promptly inform readers of all changes to published articles, including corrections and retractions. This policy has been developed in accordance with the principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and the rules of Crossref.
CrossMark is an international initiative that provides a unified standard for readers, allowing them to identify the current (authoritative) version of a published article. For more detailed information about the project, please visit the CrossMark website.
The CrossMark logo is displayed on the HTML and PDF pages of articles. By clicking on it, the reader can find out the current publication status, its change history, and access additional information.
The use of the CrossMark logo in the Journal applies to current and future publications of certain types (listed below).
