Crossmark Policy

Crossmark
Applying the CrossMark icon is a commitment by JANH to maintain the content published and alert readers to changes if and when they occur.

What is Crossmark?
Crossmark is a multi-publisher initiative from CrossRef to provide a standard way for readers to locate the authoritative version of a document. JANH understands the importance of the integrity and completeness of a scholarly record to researchers and Librarians. JANH strives to maintain this trust in its electronic archive. Clicking on the CrossMark icon will inform the reader about the document's current status. It could also contain additional information about the publication too.

JANH content and Crossmark
JANH content which will display Crossmark, is restricted to current and future journal content and is also limited to specific publication types. Articles published as Articles in Press or Online First will not have the CrossMark icon.
