Crossmark Update Policy

Crossmark Policy DOI: https://doi.org/10.62475/sibook.crossmark

Jurnal Garasi Buku dan Obrolan Keilmuan (SIBOOK Journal) is committed to maintaining the accuracy, integrity, transparency, and reliability of the scholarly record. The journal has established this Crossmark Update Policy and uses Crossmark for content for which Crossmark metadata has been registered with Crossref.

Understanding Crossmark

Crossmark is a service provided by Crossref that enables readers to determine whether a scholarly work is current and whether an editorially significant update, such as a correction or retraction, has been registered for that work.

Where Crossmark has been implemented for an article, readers may use the official Crossmark button to access information concerning the current status of the publication and any registered updates.

Scope of Crossmark Implementation

SIBOOK Journal intends Crossmark to support transparent post-publication version control and the maintenance of the scholarly record.

For content registered with Crossmark, the journal associates the article with this Crossmark Update Policy DOI and maintains relevant Crossmark metadata through Crossref.

The journal is committed to extending consistent Crossmark implementation across its current scholarly content in accordance with Crossref requirements and the journal's production workflow.

Post-Publication Updates

SIBOOK Journal evaluates errors, concerns, or new information identified after publication according to their nature, seriousness, and potential effect on the interpretation or integrity of the published work.

Editorially significant post-publication actions may include:

  • Correction / Erratum / Corrigendum: issued when an error requires formal correction but does not invalidate the principal findings or scholarly contribution of the article.
  • Clarification or Addendum: issued when additional information is necessary to improve the accuracy or interpretation of the published record.
  • Expression of Concern: may be issued when credible concerns about an article require investigation but sufficient evidence for a final editorial action is not yet available.
  • Retraction: may be issued when findings are no longer considered reliable because of serious error, fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, unethical research, compromised peer review, or other substantial integrity concerns.
  • Withdrawal or Removal: may be considered only in exceptional circumstances and in accordance with the journal's publication ethics and post-publication policies.

Minor and Substantive Changes

Minor typographical or formatting corrections that do not alter the scholarly meaning, interpretation, authorship, citation, or essential bibliographic metadata may be corrected without requiring a formal Crossmark update.

Changes that materially affect the interpretation, attribution, integrity, or scholarly record of an article must be handled through an appropriate post-publication notice and, where applicable, registered as an update through Crossref.

Substantive changes must not be made silently in a manner that obscures the publication history of an article.

Preservation of the Scholarly Record

When a published article is corrected, retracted, or otherwise subject to a substantive editorial update, SIBOOK Journal seeks to preserve a transparent record of the original publication and the subsequent editorial action.

Formal correction, retraction, expression-of-concern, or other update notices should be clearly identified and linked to the affected article. The status of the article should also be reflected in relevant publication metadata and Crossmark records where applicable.

Retraction normally does not mean that the bibliographic record disappears. The article record should remain identifiable and clearly indicate its retracted status, except in exceptional circumstances where removal is legally or ethically required.

Accessing Crossmark Information

For articles where Crossmark has been implemented, readers may access status information through the official Crossmark button displayed on the article webpage and/or article PDF.

The Crossmark information should be considered together with the article's DOI record and any correction, retraction, or other post-publication notice issued by the journal.

Reporting Errors or Concerns

Readers, authors, reviewers, or other interested parties who identify a possible error, inconsistency, or research-integrity concern in published content are encouraged to contact the Editorial Office.

Reports should identify the relevant article, preferably including its title and DOI, and provide a clear description of the concern together with supporting information where available.
