The CrossMark identification service from Crossref sends a signal to researchers that publishers are committed to maintaining their scholarly content.
As a new researcher, I'm unable to understand the meaning of CrossMark, Can anyone elaborate this, please?
CrossMark is a Logo that appears on published versions not on the pre-print version for your document(paper,book chapter,report,..) it means that the publisher is responsible for both the initial publication of a document, as well maintaining any updates to it.
The publisher applying the CrossMark logo must be the publisher originally responsible for publishing the content.

Thanks, Dr. Yasem. But, does this mean that I can make an update in the paper after it is accepted?
yes ahmed. According to this link http://www.crossref.org/crossmark/AboutFAQs.htm
The crossmark gives researchers a link that alerts them of any significant changes applied to the content since its publication. So this means that this is the main benefit for that crossmark thing , which is keeping researchers notified by any changes in the content in a consistent way
Does the CrossMark guarantee that a journal is not a predatory journal? Is it an evidence of a good journal?
@Joseph. It should,but it does not necessarily guarantee, as some predatory journals also use distorted or unauthorized logos.

Does the Cross Mark have any link with the quality of journal publishers such as being peer reviewed, indexed and the like?
