CrossMark Policy

The Davao Research Journal (DRJ) participates in CrossMark, a Crossref service that helps readers identify the current, authoritative version of scholarly content. By using the CrossMark logo, the journal shows its commitment to the integrity, transparency, accuracy, and permanence of the scholarly record. The logo on DRJ articles lets readers check whether a document is current, corrected, updated, or retracted. Clicking it shows the article’s publication status and related information, such as:

• Publication and update history
• Corrections, errata, expressions of concern, or retractions
• Author and affiliation details
• DOI and citation information
• Funding information
• Licensing and copyright details
• Other publication-related metadata

DRJ values the reliability and traceability of published work and will make reasonable efforts to promptly notify readers of any significant updates, corrections, or post-publication changes.
