Applied scope: Persistent version and correction relationships. Reasons for retraction and durable notice requirements.
Definition and operating context
The canonical concept owner is maha-research. This route may apply evidence; it cannot redefine or inherit the authority of its canonical owner.
This property may publish research objects, machine-readable provenance, reproduction protocols. It must not publish sales copy or unsupported interpretation.
Evidence and exact locators
Versioning — Versioning: corrections, retractions, and version relationships. Establishes: Persistent version and correction relationships.
Retraction Guidelines — Sections 2–4: when to retract and form of notices. Establishes: Reasons for retraction and durable notice requirements.
What the evidence does not establish
Crossref guidance does not define Maha release authority.
COPE guidance concerns scholarly publication ethics, not software deployment.
This route must not claim sales copy.
This route must not claim unsupported interpretation.
