CrossMark Policy

«Scientific Innovations» is committed to maintaining the integrity and completeness of the published scholarly records and demonstrates this commitment by participating in CrossMark.

CrossMark is a multi-publisher initiative to provide a standard way for readers to locate the authoritative version of an article or other published content. By applying the CrossMark logo, «Scientific Innovations» is committing to maintaining the content it publishes and to alerting readers to changes if and when they occur.

Clicking the CrossMark logo on a document will tell you its current status and may also give you additional publication-record information about the document.

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

The «Scientific Innovations»'s content that will have the CrossMark logo is restricted to current and future journal content and is limited to specific publication types (see below). Articles in Press will not have the CrossMark icon for the present.
