Guidelines for writing a comment

  • Keep the comment concise and focused.
  • Criticize the work and not the personal characteristics of the authors.
  • Separate errors that can be proven, questions that remain open, and differences of interpretation.
  • Leave out confidential information, and leave out information that identifies respondents, employees, customers, companies, or other organizations, unless it is essential.

2. Editorial Consideration and Author Response

Editorial assessment The editors assess the relevance and the clarity of the comment, the evidence that supports it, and its contribution to the understanding of the article.
Response of the authors The authors of the article may be invited to respond. The editors may also consult independent specialists.
Right to respond The right of the authors to respond does not give them a veto over whether a valid criticism is considered.
Disagreement Disagreement with an article does not by itself guarantee that a comment will be published.
Other platforms Concerns that are raised on other platforms may be examined once they are brought to the attention of the journal.
Integrity concerns A person who reports a credible concern about integrity does not need to have a comment published before the concern is assessed. See Allegations of Misconduct.

3. Publication and Assessment Status

  • An approved comment, and the reply to it, are clearly labeled and linked to the article that they discuss.
  • Correspondence that is assessed by the editors is not presented as having passed standard peer review.
  • New research that is submitted in response to an article follows the Peer Review Process.
  • Publication of a comment is not guaranteed, and no fixed time for publication is promised.
  • This procedure does not restrict lawful public criticism of articles. It also does not restrict the reuse of articles outside the journal under the CC BY 4.0 license, as described on the Licensing page.
