Post-publication Discussions

Readers may submit evidence-based comments, questions, or criticisms about published articles through the Sains Tanah editorial office. Contributions should identify the article, explain the issue clearly, cite supporting material where appropriate, and disclose competing interests. Discussion should address the work rather than attack individuals.

Editors assess correspondence for relevance, accuracy, scholarly value, and respectful presentation. They may edit accepted contributions for clarity or length and moderate online comments where that facility exists. Authors will normally be invited to answer substantive criticism. Accepted comments and responses may be linked to the article.

Scholarly disagreement does not itself establish an error or misconduct. Concerns affecting reliability or ethical compliance will be examined under the relevant investigation and publication-record policies rather than treated solely as debate.
