DOI and Crossmark

Last updated 5 August, 2026 | 12:46

Every article Brieflands publishes carries a Digital Object Identifier, and Crossmark sits on top of that identifier to tell a reader whether the version in front of them is still the current one. The two work together, so they are documented together.

Digital Object Identifier (DOI)

DOI  Citing or linking with a DOI link


A digital object identifier (DOI) cites and links to an electronic document. Using a DOI guarantees an unchanged permanent link to an article, so you can use a DOI to connect to the electronic records permanently. All articles published in Brieflands Journals have their DOI from Crossref.org.

To find a document with a DOI:

  1. Copy the DOI of the paper.
  2. In your browser, open the following DOI site: [Resolve a DOI Name]
  3. Enter the DOI in the provided text box and click the Go button.

Example: The correct format for citing or creating a link to a document in our company is as follows: 10.5812/hepatmon 92244


Update policy with Crossmark

All Brieflands journals enabled with Crossmark

The CrossMark logo is a commitment by Brieflands to update the content published and alert readers in case of any change occurring in an article. 

Crossmark gives readers quick and easy access to the current status of an item of content. 

If a secondary and related article (like a retraction note, corrigendum, letter, reply, ...) is accepted for a primary article, authors will be informed using the Crossmark facility and able to track it using a notification. The Brieflands content with the CrossMark logo is restricted to journal content and specific publication types (like original articles, review articles, and brief reports). Clicking on the CrossMark icon will inform the reader of the document's current status and may also provide additional publication record information about the document.

These article types could be linked to the source article using a Crossmark logo even after publishing:

  • Corrections
  • Supplementary data
  • Letter to the Editor
  • Retractions
  • Reply
  • adding ORCID
  • funding data
  • license details
  • Clinical trial registration data
  • peer review information

  • It provides a standard way to communicate this information to readers and shows the publisher's ongoing commitment to stewarding the content.
  • It increases the trust between readers and journals
