CROSSMARK POLICY

SALT JSRH is committed to maintaining the integrity and accuracy of the research we publish. As part of this commitment, we participate in the Crossmark initiative, a multi-publisher effort led by Crossref to provide a standard way for readers to locate the current version of published articles.

Crossmark is a global service that verifies the integrity of research publications. It displays a dynamic icon alongside the article title on our website and other participating platforms. Clicking the Crossmark icon provides readers with instant access to information about the article, including:

• Current version: Whether the article has been corrected, retracted, or updated since its initial publication.
• Publisher information: Links to the publisher's website and relevant policies.
• Article history: Any changes made to the article, such as errata or corrigenda.
• Cross-linking: Connections to related content, like comments, translations, or supplementary materials.

• Trust and transparency: Crossmark fosters trust in the research by providing readers with readily available information about the article's status and potential updates.
• Reduced confusion: It helps readers avoid outdated or inaccurate versions of the research, ensuring they rely on the most current and reliable information.
• Enhanced discoverability: Crossmark links to related content and platforms, promoting wider dissemination and discussion of the research.
• Improved research integrity: Crossmark promotes responsible research practices by providing a mechanism for acknowledging and addressing errors or misconduct transparently.

By applying the Crossmark logo to our published articles, SALT JSRH demonstrates our commitment to:

• Maintaining the accuracy and reliability of research findings.
• Providing readers with easy access to updates and corrections.
• Upholding the highest standards of research integrity and transparency.

We encourage readers to utilize Crossmark whenever accessing research on our platform or elsewhere. This simple yet powerful tool empowers you to stay informed and make confident decisions based on the most up-to-date and accurate research available.

If you have any questions about Crossmark or SALT JSRH's commitment to research integrity, please don't hesitate to contact us. We are always happy to discuss our policies and procedures in detail.
