CrossMark Policy

The Journal of Contemporary Urban Affairs participates fully in CrossMark. In accordance with Crossref’s July 2024 guidance and metadata schema v 5.4, this page itself is registered with its own DOI  10.25034/crossmarkpolicy and that identifier is deposited as the required update-policy DOI in the CrossMark metadata for every article we register. This ensures that, whenever a reader clicks the CrossMark button on an HTML page or PDF, the system can retrieve the live policy and confirm whether the item is current or has an editorially significant update.  

Our editorial office follows the twelve Crossref-defined update categories (addendum, clarification, correction, corrigendum, erratum, expression of concern, new edition, new version, partial retraction, removal, retraction, withdrawal). Whenever an article requires one of these actions, we issue a separate, citable DOI and link it bidirectionally to the original work, as mandated by schema v 5.4. Minor, non-substantive amendments are made in situ; all substantive updates are deposited within forty-eight hours and displayed via the CrossMark dialogue box, in line with COPE Core Practices on corrections and retractions.
