Hello, welcome, thank you for coming today, etc. I am... Today I will to introduce and explain the CrossMark service from CrossRef, the people who bring you DOI reference linking in scholarly articles. This session will give you information on what CrossMark and how it can help you cite with certainty

So in order to explain how CrossMark has come about, I’m going to start with a couple of fairly simple and statements.

ADD BITS ON WHAT IS CROSSREF

Content changes
It’s easy to think that once something is published that’s it - the version of record is out there and that’s how it’ll stay. But we know it’s not as simple as that....

“The Web is by nature an interactive environment, yet online journals are mostly static, befitting their traditional role as a never-changing scholarly record.”
The idea that journals should be published and preserved in amber doesn’t work in a web world.

When content changes, readers need to know
and when this content changes readers need to know that it has changed. It could be that an update adds extra data or background information to an article, but it could potentially be more serious, with corrections to information that could alter follow-on research or even treatment. So it’s important that this information gets out there.
![Page 11: Crossmark for Researchers](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042701/55ba8117bb61eb1c4d8b4648/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The way we are communicating corrections to readers is archaic. This is a real photo of a correction notice for a book from a bulletin board!

Nature 478, 26-28 (2011) Science publishing: The trouble with retractions http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/478026a
There is also the big issue of trust for scholarly literature. Changes in content, if handled correctly, can enhance trust but if they aren’t handled well, they can undermine trust. There has been quite a bit in the news lately about how scientific fraud may be on the rise, with suspected increases in plagiarism and other types of misconduct. An some studies have confirmed this. A news item in Nature last year confirmed the numbers and highlighted a 10-fold increase in retraction notices which far outpaced the growth in the number of articles.
![Page 13: Crossmark for Researchers](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042701/55ba8117bb61eb1c4d8b4648/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
errata corrigenda
updates enhancements
withdrawals retractions
new editions protocol updates
notices of concern, etc.
But it’s not just retractions that are a concern. Corrections are more common, and in the online world there are growing opportunities to enhance content, perhaps by adding source data or supplementary material after publication of the original article. It’s fair to say that the majority of content won’t change, but some of it will.. So two main points that CrossMark is addressing - First: it’s time for the idea of the “final version” of an article to rest in peace. There is no final version for content. Readers, and often publishers themselves, have a mindset that once the “version of record” is published that’s the end of the story and the end of the publisher’s role. In all the recent debates about whether and how scholarly publishers add value I didn’t see any mention of the role publishers have in providing ongoing maintenance and stewardship of content.

How Does a Researcher Know What to Trust?
• Author name
• Affiliation
• How many times something has been cited
• On a reputable web site (publisher or journal brand)
• Ratings, Comments

To determine the accessibility of retracted articles residing on non-publisher websites and in personal libraries. Non-publisher websites provided 321 publicly accessible copies for 289 retracted articles: 304 (95%) copies were the publisher' versions, and 13 (4%) were final manuscripts. PubMed Central had 138 (43%) copies; educational websites 94 (29%); commercial websites 24 (7%); advocacy websites 16 (5%); and institutional repositories 10 (3%). Just 15 (5%) full-article views included a retraction statement. Personal Mendeley libraries contained records for 1,340 (75%) retracted articles, shared by 3.4 users, on average.

Does this article have corrections?
One of these is consistency. This article in PNAS has a correction. It’s flagged over here to the right of the abstract so that you can spot it.

But this one is a bit more subtle. There’s nothing in the left of right hand columns, but instead this publisher has chosen to site the correction up at the top of the article here.

And what about this one? Nothing obvious at the top of the page, or in the tool bars on the right...
![Page 30: Crossmark for Researchers](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042701/55ba8117bb61eb1c4d8b4648/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
...but if you scroll down the page a bit here’s a correction located under the “related articles” heading.

And then you have content that’s being held offline - here’s the PDF of the article we were just looking at. If you’ve downloaded this to your laptop or device you’ve got absolutely no means to know that there’s a correction that has been issued for this article. You could go back to look at it weeks or months later and you’d be completely oblivious to any updates or changes in its status.

Which leads to a second problem, which is that there is often more than one version of an article available. Here we have an article from the Journal of Surgical Research which was retracted because it was found to contain plagiarised material. On the publisher’s site it’s flagged pretty clearly as retracted up here in the article title...

Specific Correction Problems Mentioned
• Interlibrary loan
• Downloaded PDFs
• Printed articles.
Lack of awareness of corrections or updates particularly problematic in medicine and related fields.

What is CrossMark?
So CrossMark. At its simplest it’s a logo that publishers will apply to content that they publish. When a reader clicks on the logo they will quickly and easily be able to tell: The best way to explain it is to show some examples.

I’ll start with the most useful common scenario. We’re looking at a PDF from the Journal of Applied Crystallography. This came from my hard drive. Or I downloaded it from the author’s web site. Or was it my university’s institutional repository? Maybe somebody emailed me a copy? No, wait, I think this was from my Mendeley account. And when was that? !At any rate, you see there is a CrossMark logo in the upper left corner. Providing I am online, when I click on the logo it will pop up a webpage...
![Page 67: Crossmark for Researchers](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042701/55ba8117bb61eb1c4d8b4648/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
with a pop-up dialogue box giving the latest status. This is what most people will see - confirmation that the document is up to date, the CrossRef DOI link that will always point to the publisher-maintained copy, and a link to the publisher’s policies. There are no updates. This time.... (click) And the box also tells the reader that Future updates - if any - will be listed below, so getting them used to the idea that if changes happen, this is where they can find them. But what if there had been a correction?
![Page 68: Crossmark for Researchers](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042701/55ba8117bb61eb1c4d8b4648/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Here’s another PDF. (For the record, this example is a mock-up from the fictitious Journal of Psychoceramics.) The CrossMark logo in a different place (click), though it works the same way. I just click on the logo. ..

Here, clicking on the logo brings up the same CrossMark dialog box... but I discover that there was a clarification issued for this document. It gives a link to the correction. !All I need to do is click on the CrossRef DOI link (click) to go to the update.
![Page 70: Crossmark for Researchers](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042701/55ba8117bb61eb1c4d8b4648/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)

Of course, these work the same way on publisher’s HTML pages. (Click) You see a real article from The Proceedings of The Royal Society B on Royal Society’s website. The CrossMark logo appears just above the article title here.

This is where you can show additional metadata about the piece of content if you choose to do so. The publisher decides what to put here and can use these fields to define publication practices. You don’t have to populate this tab at all if you prefer not to, and if you don’t supply an additional metadata the tab simply won’t show. The fields are defined and labelled by the publisher, and there can be as many or as few as you choose. This particular data from another of our pilot participants, the International Union of Crystallography, and you can see that they are sharing some really useful information on the copyright, review process and publication history. Also useful for FundRef!

What kind of Publication Record information could be available?
Try to find visual examples of these. These are a few of the other possible pieces of information that have come up when talking with publishers. CrossRef isn’t going to advise on what publishers should display in the record box, but we expect that communities of interest may develop guidelines or best practices within different areas. There’s already a group of publishers discussing how best to display funding and grant information, for example.

CrossMark data will be freely available and machine readable and query-able, so could potentially be used in search results to flag content that has status verification and possible additional information, although this is something that we’ve just seen implemented in Microsoft Academic Search. We have had some conversations with librarians about using CrossMark data to populate link resolvers by pulling back relevant information, and also with other third parties such as bibliographic management systems who might be able to pull status updates into users reference lists and personal libraries.

Microsoft Academic Search implemented CrossMark on their platform in early February and are displaying the CrossMark logo on relevant content within their index. This is a useful development in terms of being able to publicise CrossMark to affiliates and show ways in which the CrossMark data can be used to identify the publisher version of a piece of content. Inera’s eXstyles have also just announced that they’re supporting CrossMark. If you’re using that tool for your references, eXtyles will now provide a warning if a reference has a CrossMark record that indicates it has been “retracted,” “withdrawn,” or “removed.” !

1. CrossMark Policy Page
Explains CrossMark, commitment to maintain the content
Explain publisher policies on corrections, retractions, etc.
Define any fields for the Publication Record Tab
Has a CrossRef DOI for persistent linking
A CrossMark policy page on the publisher’s website explains that the publisher is a CrossMark member committed to maintaining the content that it publishes. It will link to or explain its policies on corrections and retractions, and define any of the Publication Record in the Record Tab. This page will have its own CrossRef DOI so that it can be linked to.

5. Viewing the CrossMark Logo
REWRITE FOR RESEARCHER AUDIENCE You need to display the CrossMark logo on the article landing page, ideally situated as close as possible to the article title, and outside of access control. On the CrossMark pilot site you will find information on the widget that can be inserted into HTML pages to add the logo and link it to the CrossMark dialogue box. The CrossMark logo should also be added to PDFs. Black and white versions of the logo are available if required. We have another tool on the Support site that will help you to add the logo and link to PDFs. We’re not asking pilot publishers to add logos to PDFs just yet because there’s an element of permanence once something is in a PDF and downloaded so we want to complete final testing, but CrossMarks in PDFs will be a very important part of the service once it’s launched. There is no requirement to add CrossMarks to backfile if the publisher doesn’t want to do so.
