Post-Publication Discussion

Journal of Community Empowerment provides a mechanism for readers, researchers, and the academic community to submit responses, scientific criticisms, questions, or clarifications to published articles. Post-publication discussions are intended to encourage academic exchange of ideas, improve the quality of scientific discourse, and maintain accuracy, transparency, and integrity in publications.

Response Delivery Channel

Readers and researchers can submit scientific responses or objections to published articles through the official email of the [email protected]. Submitters are expected to include the title of the article, the author's name, the volume and publication number, the year of publication, the DOI or link to the article, and a description of the response submitted.

Responses must be based on scientific arguments, relevant evidence, and verifiable sources. Responses include criticism of research methods, data analysis, interpretation of results, theoretical foundations, conclusions, or other aspects related to the substance and integrity of the article. Criticisms that are personal, threatening, discriminatory, or irrelevant to scientific discussion will not be processed as academic discussions.

Inspection

Each response received will be reviewed by the editor to assess its relevance, clarity of argument, accuracy of evidence, and contribution to scientific discussion. The editor may request additional information or supporting documents from the submitter if necessary. Furthermore, if the response meets the requirements mentioned above, the editor may request an assessment from a reviewer or expert who has competence in the field of discussion. If the response relates to alleged substantive errors, data inaccuracies, or violations of research and publication ethics, the editor will handle it in accordance with the journal's policy of correction and handling of ethical violations.

To maintain fairness and objectivity, the author of the article that is responded to can be given the opportunity to provide clarifications or answers. All parties are expected to maintain professionalism, use polite academic language, and base arguments on evidence that can be accounted for.
