Correction policy

If significant errors are found in an article after publication, Inter-Research will replace the online pdf with an amended version bearing a brief description of the change(s), and where appropriate a link to a Corrigendum or Erratum that gives a detailed list of changes. In journals that are also printed, this Corrigendum or Erratum will appear in the next available issue.

Crossmark

Current and future articles show the Crossmark logo and hyperlink on the abstract page and on the pdf. Crossmark is a multi-publisher initiative from Crossref to provide a standard way for readers to locate the current version of a piece of content. By applying the Crossmark logo, Inter-Research is committing to maintaining the content it publishes, and to alerting readers to changes if and when they occur. Clicking on the Crossmark logo will tell you the current status of a document, and may also give you additional publication record information about the document. The content that will have the CrossMark logo is restricted to current and future journal content

Digital Preservation

Inter-Research (IR) collaborates with CLOCKSS (Controlled LOCKSS - Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) to ensure the preservation of IR’s digital content (2017 to present). CLOCKSS is a not-for-profit joint venture between the world’s leading scholarly publishers and research libraries. Its mission is to build a sustainable, geographically distributed dark archive with which to ensure the long-term survival of Web-based scholarly publications for the benefit of the greater global research community.

Web Content Accessibility

Inter-Research Science Publisher is committed to providing a website that is accessible to all users, following the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (WC3). As Inter-Research sits solely within Germany, the relevant framework is legally set by the European Accessibility Act (EAA) and the German Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz (BFSG). A major upgrade of the Inter-Research website is currently in development which (among other aims) will bring it into BFSG / EAA / WCAG compliancy, expected to be implemented by end May 2025. A Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) will be undertaken once the upgrade is implemented, which will also map related compliancy under the USA Revised Section 508 Standards. In the meantime, users who experience access difficulties within the framework of Section 508 or the WCAG 2.0 are very welcome to contact us to advise us of the problem and to work with us to develop individual practical solutions.
