The International Journal of Management Science (IJMS), published by Tinta Emas Publisher, is committed to maintaining the content we publish and to alerting readers to changes if and when they occur by applying the CrossMark icon.

What is CrossMark?

CrossMark is a multi-publisher initiative from CrossRef that provides a standard way for readers to locate the authoritative version of a document. IJMS understands the importance of the integrity and completeness of the scholarly record to researchers and librarians. By using CrossMark, IJMS strives to maintain trust in our electronic archive. Clicking on the CrossMark icon will inform the reader about the current status of the document and may also contain additional publication information.

IJMS Content and CrossMark

The content of IJMS that will display CrossMark is restricted to current and future journal content and is limited to specific publication types. Articles published as "Articles in Press" or "Online First" will not have the CrossMark icon at present.

Specific Publication Types:

Addendum - Published if authors have inadvertently omitted significant information during manuscript submission and would like to add this content to the article after publication.
Corrigendum - Published when authors realize that errors in the published article could affect the validity or accuracy of the scientific content.
Erratum - Published when mistakes are recognized in the published article that went unnoticed during editing and layout setting in figures, tables, etc.
Papers, Preliminary Notes, Notes, etc.
Correspondence - Letters to the editor or replies to letters.
Book Review - Reviews of published books.
Removal - The abstract/text and PDF are removed, with an explanation provided for the removal.
Replacement - The article is retracted as per the retraction policy, with the difference that a link to the corrected re-published article will be placed on the PDF versions of the paper and on the page with the retraction notice.
Retraction - The abstract/text of the article is retracted. The PDF will be retained with a watermark on every page to notify that it is retracted.

By adhering to these standards, IJMS ensures the integrity of the scholarly record and maintains the highest level of trust with our readers.
