Publisher Taylor & Francis has implemented CrossMark, the version and update identification service from CrossRef, on its journal platform, Taylor & Francis Online. The CrossMark service helps users to navigate to the most recent version of a scholarly document, such as a book chapter, journal article, conference paper, or encyclopaedia entry. It also has the benefit of illustrating a document's history by highlighting any amendments that have been made, including corrections, updates, errata, retractions and withdrawals.
Taylor & Francis has begun with a pilot of 25 journals, and thereafter hopes to extend this to every article published from January 2014, in all of its 1,800 journals.
In addition to versioning details, Taylor & Francis will include CrossMark publication record information. This contains a peer review statement, funder information (if applicable), and a link to the aims and scope of the journal. Readers can access all of this information by clicking on the CrossMark logo displayed by the article, in both the PDF and HTML versions.
