Persistent Article Identifier: DOI

The Ortacag Arastirmalari Dergisi uses the digital object identifier (DOI). DOI is used to find the article no matter where it is located.

Crossmark Policy: 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, The Ortacag Arastirmalari Dergisi is committing to maintaining the content it publishes and to alerting readers to changes if and when they occur.

Correction and Retraction Policies: The Ortacag Arastirmalari Dergisi is committed to uphold the integrity of the literature and publishes Errata, Expressions of Concerns or Retraction Notices dependent on the situation and in accordance with the COPE Retraction Guidelines. In all cases, these notices are linked to the original article.

There are two categories of updates: minor and major changes.

Minor changes include correcting formatting and spelling. There are no substantive changes you would need to alert the reader to, so the Crossmark status is current. If changes don’t affect the crediting or interpretation of the work, the Crossmark status remains as it is.

Major changes affect the Crossmark status of the work, as Crossmark is geared towards letting readers know about significant changes to the published literature. Substantial changes, such as the retraction of an article due to an error, or the addition or removal of an author, should be reflected in a work’s Crossmark status. It is good practice to publish a notice of correction or retraction (with its own DOI) and not put it behind access control. This allows readers to follow the link in the Crossmark button and find further details about the update.
