Post-Publication Discussion

Post-Publication Discussion and Complaints

Jurnal Riset Akuntansi Kontemporer (JRAK) welcomes scholarly discussion of the work it publishes. Peer review does not end at the point of publication, and the journal provides clear channels through which readers may raise questions, comments, or concerns about published articles.

 

Submitting a Comment or Concern

 

Readers who wish to comment on, question, or dispute a published article may write to the Editorial Office at jrak@unpas.ac.id. Correspondence should include:

 

  1. The full citation of the article concerned, including its DOI;
  2. A clear statement of the comment, question, or concern;
  3. The name, affiliation, and contact details of the correspondent;
  4. A declaration of any competing interests.

 

Comments submitted without identification of the correspondent will be considered, but the journal may be limited in the action it can take.

 

How Comments Are Handled

 

  1. The Editorial Office acknowledges receipt, normally within fourteen working days.
  2. Substantive scholarly comments are forwarded to the corresponding author of the article concerned, who is invited to respond.
  3. Where the matter raises a question of accuracy or research integrity, it is handled under JRAK's Allegations of Research Misconduct procedure.
  4. Where the exchange is of general scholarly interest, the Editor may invite the correspondent to submit a formal Letter to the Editor and the original authors to submit a Reply. Both are assessed editorially and, if accepted, published in a subsequent issue with their own DOIs and reciprocal links to the original article.
  5. Where an error is confirmed, the article is corrected or retracted in accordance with JRAK's Correction and Retraction Policy.

 

Standards for Discussion

 

Post-publication discussion must address the scholarly content of the work. Correspondence that is defamatory, abusive, or directed at individuals rather than at the research will not be published or acted upon.

 

Complaints About Editorial Process

 

Complaints concerning the conduct of the editorial or peer-review process, including the behaviour of editors or reviewers, should be addressed to the Editor-in-Chief at atang.hermawan@unpas.ac.id. [KONFIRMASI — pastikan alamat email EiC yang ingin dipakai untuk kanal pengaduan] Complaints are investigated in accordance with COPE guidance, and the complainant is informed of the outcome. Where the complaint concerns the Editor-in-Chief, it is referred to the publisher, the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Pasundan.

 

External Platforms

 

JRAK also monitors discussion of its articles on established post-publication review platforms and in the citing literature, and will act on substantive concerns raised through those channels in the same way as concerns received directly.
