Post-Publication Discussion

Post-Publication Discussion

Quagga: Jurnal Pendidikan dan Biologi welcomes scholarly discussion of its published articles. Readers may raise questions, comments, or critiques of a published article through the following channels:

  1. Letter to the Editor. Substantive comments on a published article may be sent to the Editor-in-Chief through the contact page, within 12 months of the article's publication. Letters should be no more than 1,000 words, focus on the scientific content, and include supporting references.
  2. Author response. The editor forwards the letter to the corresponding author, who is invited to reply within 30 days. If the editor judges the discussion to be of scholarly value, the letter and the author's reply may be published together in a subsequent issue.
  3. External platforms. Readers may also discuss articles on post-publication review platforms such as PubPeer. The editors monitor such discussion and act on concerns raised there.

Comments must be respectful, evidence-based, and free of personal attacks. If a discussion reveals an error or possible misconduct, it is handled under our Corrections and Retractions and Allegations of Research Misconduct policies.
