CrossMark Policy Statement

CrossMark is a multi-publisher initiative by CrossRef to provide a standard way for readers to locate the authoritative version of an article or other published content. By applying the CrossMark button, Roots Press is committing to maintaining the content it publishes and to alerting readers to changes if and when they occur.

The Crossmark button gives readers quick and easy access to the current status of an item of content, including any corrections, retractions, or updates to that record.

For more information on CrossMark, please visit the CrossMark site.

Roots Press content that will have the CrossMark button is restricted to current and future journal content and is limited to specific publication types.
