Crossmark and Publication Update Policy

This page documents how GMR maintains the current status of published content; Crossmark will be activated only after Crossref requirements are completed.

Current status

GMR maintains separate correction, update, expression-of-concern and retraction notices and links them to affected articles. The Crossmark button is not displayed until the journal has an active Crossref route, a DOI assigned to this policy page and registered Crossmark metadata.

Updates recorded

  • Correction
  • Update or Addendum
  • Expression of Concern
  • Retraction
  • Withdrawal or Publisher Notice where applicable

Version preservation

Editorially significant changes are not silently substituted. A separate notice explains the change and the original record remains identifiable. When Crossref services are active, each significant notice will receive its own DOI and update relation.

Questions or concerns

Use the appropriate secure route when a matter requires a documented response.
