Crossmark Policy

Crossmark Policy

Applying the CrossMark icon is a commitment by Oriental Scientific Publishing Company to maintain the content published and alert readers to changes if and when they occur.

What is Crossmark?

CrossMark, a multi-publisher initiative from CrossRef, provides a standard way for readers to locate the authoritative version of a document. OSPC 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.

Correction, Retraction, Withdrawal Policies Corrections

• Before publications: PDF Galley proofs are sent to the author for proofreading and corrections are done before the PDFs are sent for printing.
• Post Publishing: Corrections are published if the publication record is seriously affected with regard to the accuracy of published information. Corrections are published in the subsequent issue under Corrections and addendum.

Retractions

Oriental Scientific Publishing Company’s Retraction policy is based, in large part, on the guidelines and standards developed by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Please Click here to view retraction policy.

Withdrawal Policy

If an author requests a withdrawal within 10 days of submission, the author is allowed to withdraw the manuscript without paying any withdrawal fee, however, if authors withdraw manuscripts any time after review and acceptance, a withdrawal fee will have to be paid.
