Crossmark Policy

Crossmark

Applying the CrossMark icon is a commitment by Journal of Social Contemplativa 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. Journal of Social Contemplativa understands the importance of the integrity and completeness of a scholarly record to researchers as well as to Librarians. Journal of Social Contemplativa strives to maintain this trust in its electronic archive. Clicking on the CrossMark icon will inform the reader about the current status of the document. It could also contain additional information about publication too.
