POST-PUBLICATION DISCUSSION

AXIOM : Jurnal Pendidikan dan Matematika welcomes constructive, evidence-based discussion of the articles it publishes, in line with COPE principles. Comments may address research design, instruments, analysis, interpretation of results, errors in tables, figures, references, or conclusions, or concerns about research ethics and publication integrity. Methodological criticism or disagreement in interpretation is not, by itself, research misconduct.

Submitting a Comment
Please write to jurnalaxiom@uinsu.ac.id with the subject “Post-Publication Discussion: [article title or DOI]”. Include the article details, your name, affiliation, and contact details, the specific issue with supporting references, data, or other verifiable evidence, and any relevant conflict of interest. Comments should be scholarly, respectful, and directed at the published work, not at the authors personally. Comments containing personal attacks, defamatory language, or unsupported allegations presented as fact will not be published, although concerns about possible misconduct may still be submitted confidentially. Submitting a comment does not guarantee its publication. The journal does not monitor external platforms systematically, but credible concerns brought to the editors’ attention are assessed in the same way.

Assessment
The Editor-in-Chief or a designated editor screens the comment, may ask the commenter for clarification, and may refer technical questions to independent experts. The authors of the article are informed and given a reasonable opportunity to respond before a decision is made; the absence of a response does not by itself invalidate a concern. Editors with a conflict of interest do not take part. The identity of the person who raised the concern is kept confidential as far as possible, they are informed of the outcome, and the case is recorded.

Outcomes

  • The comment, with the authors’ reply where appropriate, may be published as a Letter to the Editor or a short commentary, clearly identified and linked to the original article.
  • A correction or retraction may be issued, according to our Corrections and Retractions policy.
  • No further action is taken when concerns are unsupported or reflect a legitimate difference in interpretation.

Concerns about fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, unauthorized authorship, undisclosed conflicts of interest, or other serious breaches of integrity are handled under our Research Misconduct Allegation procedure.
