We are delighted to announce that the CrossMark update identification service, which has been in a pilot phase for the past year, is now available to any CrossRef member in good standing who would like to participate.

The service allows researchers to easily identify when changes have been made to published scholarly documents. They simply click on the CrossMark logo. They can also get important publication record information--non-bibliographic metadata--that helps them evaluate the work.

More than 20,000 documents from 21 journals now display live CrossMark logos that link to status information about corrections, updates, changes, enhancements, retractions, or other types of changes. Of these, approximately 290 have indicated status changes.

More information is available in our news release. Examples and a complete description of the service, including a list of participating publishers, are available at the CrossMark website.

Carol Anne Meyer will be at the Charleston Conference next week speaking at the Saturday Innovation Sessions about CrossMark.

CrossMark is the upcoming CrossRef service that will highlight the value of publisher-certified and maintained scholarly content.

Learn more about her session below.

End User Tools for Evaluating Scholarly Content
Location: Francis Marion, Bridgeview Room

Multiple versions of scholarly content (from author websites, institutional repositories, government archives, subject specific digital libraries, aggregator collections and publisher websites) make it difficult for users to locate the most recent
version of a document or to ascertain if the document has had any updates or even been retracted. This session describes
tools for end users to evaluate the content they come across to make sure they are citing the most authoritative version of
the content available. The presenter will use Poll Everywhere to engage the audience by showing examples of articles and
asking whether the audience can tell the current status of the documents. The audience will learn about the CrossMark
version of record service and the importance of educating users about how to locate current information.
