CrossMark
IJAST is committed to maintaining the content it publishes and to alerting readers to changes if and when they occur. The IJAST content that will have the Crossmark icon is restricted to current and future journal content and limited to specific publication types (see below) and only on content hosted by the official IJAST website (www.ijast.org). Articles in Press will not have the Crossmark icon for the present.
Crossmark, a multi-publisher initiative from CrossRef, provides a standard way for readers to locate the authoritative version of a document. SARES and also IJAST recognizes the importance of the integrity and completeness of the scholarly record to researchers and librarians and attaches the highest importance to maintaining trust in the authority of its electronic archive. Clicking on the Crossmark icon will inform the reader of the current status of a document and may also provide additional publication record information about the document.
All content published by IJAST (final version of record made available to the public) is permanently published. Occasionally updates to or new versions of content are warranted; however, the original version, once published, cannot be altered or withdrawn, except under extreme circumstances, and is otherwise permanently available on IJAST website.
