Post-Publication Discussion

Post-Publication Discussion and Comments Policy

Channing: Journal of English Language Education and Literature (p-ISSN 2541-4259; e-ISSN 2597-3630) recognizes that scholarly discussion does not end at publication. The journal welcomes constructive, evidence-based comments on published articles and provides a formal mechanism for post-publication discussion, in line with the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing.

1. Submitting a Comment

Readers, researchers, and the authors themselves may comment on any article published in Channing. To do so, email the editorial office at [email jurnal Channing] with the subject line "Post-Publication Comment". The message must include:

  • the full name, affiliation, and email address of the commenter;
  • the title and DOI of the article concerned (https://doi.org/10.30599/channing.xxx);
  • the comment itself, focused on the scholarly content (data, methods, analysis, or interpretation), supported by evidence or references where possible;
  • a statement of any conflict of interest.

Anonymous comments will not be considered. Neither will comments containing personal attacks, defamatory statements, or content unrelated to the scholarly substance of the article.

2. Editorial Handling

  • The Editor-in-Chief acknowledges receipt within 7 working days and assesses whether the comment is substantive and relevant.
  • Substantive comments are forwarded to the corresponding author, who may respond within 30 days.
  • Where necessary, the Editor may seek the opinion of an independent reviewer or a member of the Editorial Team.
  • The Editor decides whether the comment and the authors' response will be published.

3. Publication of Comments

Comments that make a valuable contribution to the scholarly discussion may be published as a Letter to the Editor, together with the authors' reply, in a subsequent issue. Published letters are linked to the original article.

4. Outcomes Affecting the Published Article

If the discussion reveals an error, the article will be handled according to the journal's Article Correction and Retraction Policy. Depending on the case, this may result in an erratum, corrigendum, expression of concern, or retraction.

If the discussion raises concerns about research or publication misconduct, the case will be handled according to the journal's Research Misconduct, Complaints and Appeals Policy. Both policies follow the journal's Publication Ethics and COPE guidelines.
