Post-Publication Discussion

Jurnal Wasian supports open, transparent, and constructive scholarly dialogue and recognises that discussion of research does not end at the point of publication. We welcome comments, questions, and critiques concerning articles published in the journal.

1. How to Raise a Discussion

1. Readers who wish to comment on, question, or respond to a published article may contact the editorial office at forestry.dep@unismuh.ac.id, stating the article title, author(s), and the specific point being raised.
2. Correspondence should be professional, evidence-based, and relevant to the scientific content of the work.

2. Handling of Post-Publication Discussion

1. The editorial team reviews all substantive correspondence and may, where appropriate, invite the original authors to respond.
2. Significant and well-founded commentary may be published as a Letter to the Editor or a commentary, together with the authors' reply, to keep the discussion part of the scholarly record.
3. Discussions are moderated in line with the principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) to ensure respectful, fair, and constructive exchange.

3. When Discussion Identifies a Problem

1. If post-publication discussion reveals a genuine error, or raises concerns about the integrity of a published article, the matter is handled under the journal's Corrections and Retractions policy.
2. Allegations of misconduct are investigated following COPE guidance, as described in the journal's Publication Ethics policy.
