Post-Publication Discussion

Submission of Post-Publication Comments

Readers may submit comments, questions, or concerns about a published article to the Editor-in-Chief. Submissions should identify the article through its citation or DOI and include a clear explanation and supporting evidence where available.

Comments and concerns may be directed through the JRK Contact Page .

Editorial Consideration

The journal will assess relevant and substantiated comments and may invite a response from the article's authors. Where appropriate, JRK may publish a moderated comment, author response, correction, or other editorial notice to clarify the scholarly record.

Standards for Scholarly Discussion

Comments must be evidence-based, relevant to the scholarly content, respectful, and free from defamatory, discriminatory, or abusive language. The journal may decline to publish or may remove material that does not meet these standards, while maintaining an appropriate record of editorial actions.

Concerns Requiring Formal Investigation

When a post-publication concern raises questions about possible research or publication misconduct, the matter may be handled under the journal's Allegations of Research and Publication Misconduct Policy .
