POST-PUBLICATION DISCUSSION

The Journal of Management and Entrepreneurship Science recognizes that scientific communication and evaluation do not cease once an article is published. Post-publication discussion provides a space for readers, authors, academics, educators, practitioners, and the scientific community to respond to, inquire about, critique, or seek clarification regarding published articles.

The journal welcomes discussions that are relevant, constructive, evidence-based, and contribute to the advancement of knowledge—specifically within the field of education—in alignment with the journal’s focus and scope.

  1. Forms of Discussion
  • Comments or Letters to the Editor: Academic responses, inquiries, or critiques concerning a published article.
  • Author Responses: An author’s reply to substantive comments or critiques regarding their work.
  • Methodological and Scientific Critiques: Discussions concerning research design, instruments, data analysis, interpretation of results, study limitations, and the alignment of conclusions with the data. For conceptual or literature-based studies, this includes the accuracy of primary references, the citation of arguments, and the interpretation of texts.
  • Clarifications or Corrections: Addressing errors in facts, references, citations, data, or the spelling of names within an article.
  • Input Regarding Publication Integrity: Addressing information or evidence that raises questions about data reliability, research ethics, authorship, conflicts of interest, or plagiarism.
  1. How to Submit

Comments or responses should be sent via the journal’s official email address: jurnaljimk88@gmail.com, with the subject line "Post-Publication Discussion." Submissions should include the following:

  • The sender’s full name, institutional affiliation, and email address.
  • The title of the article, the author(s)’ name(s), and the DOI or link to the article under discussion.
  • A clear and specific description of the comment, inquiry, or critique.
  • The academic basis for the comment, supported by evidence or references.
  • A statement regarding any potential conflicts of interest on the part of the sender.
  1. Comment Criteria (Conduct)

Comments must be written in a professional, objective, and courteous manner, focusing on scientific substance. The journal will not process comments that contain personal attacks, discriminatory or insulting language, defamation, unsubstantiated allegations, hate speech (related to ethnicity, religion, race, or other social groups), or material unrelated to the content of the article.

  1. Handling Process
  • The editor reviews the completeness and relevance of submitted comments.
  • Comments that meet the criteria are forwarded to the corresponding author, who is given the opportunity to provide a response within a reasonable timeframe.
  • The editor may seek the opinion of peer reviewers or independent experts if the issues raised are technical in nature.
  • Comments and responses deemed appropriate may be published as material related to the article in question and linked to the article’s webpage.
  • If a discussion reveals errors or issues concerning research integrity, the journal will take action in accordance with its policies on Corrections and Retractions, as well as those regarding Alleged Research Integrity Violations.

The final decision on the publication of a comment rests with the Editor-in-Chief. The publication of a comment does not imply that the journal endorses its content.
