Crossmark Policy

Crossmark Policy Statement

American Journal of STEM Education is committed to preserving the scholarly record. As part of our participation in the Crossref Crossmark service, we inform readers about the current status of articles published in our journal.

By clicking on the Crossmark logo on an article's webpage or PDF, readers will be able to verify that the document is up to date and will have access to additional publication record information if any changes have been made.

Update Policy

• Corrections (Errata or Corrigenda): Minor errors that do not alter the overall interpretation of the work will be corrected and documented.
• Retractions: Articles may be retracted in cases of significant errors, plagiarism, ethical violations, or research misconduct.
• Expressions of Concern: May be issued in cases where the validity of a publication is in question and under investigation.

All updates and post-publication changes will follow best practices as recommended by COPE and ICMJE.

Version Control

The current version of each article is reflected in the online content. Any changes are recorded and made accessible via the Crossmark button.
