POST-PUBLICATION DISCUSSION

Jurnal Manajemen Informatika dan Bisnis Digital welcomes scholarly discussion of its published articles, provided that the discussion is based on evidence. Readers are invited to raise questions about the methods of a study, to offer alternative interpretations, to report the results of a replication in another organization, sector, or region, and to share how the findings were applied in practice.

This page explains where each kind of message should be sent and how a scholarly comment is submitted and considered.

1Submitting a Scholarly Comment

Send an email to jurnal.jumintal@gmail.com with the subject line Scholarly Comment: [Article Title and DOI]. If the article has no DOI, give its web address instead. The comment may be written in Indonesian or in English, and it must be signed with the full name, the affiliation, and the email address of the sender.

Each comment should contain the following.

No.	Required content
1	The title of the article and its DOI.
2	The specific issue that is raised.
3	The reasoning or the evidence that supports the comment.
4	Relevant references.
5	Any competing interests, in line with the Conflicts of Interest policy.

Guidelines for a good comment

Keep the comment concise.
Criticism must be about the work and not about the personal characteristics of the authors.
Separate the errors that are proven from the questions that remain open and from differences in interpretation.
Leave out confidential information, and leave out details that identify participants, organizations, or customers, unless they are essential.

2Editorial Consideration and Author Response

Topic	What applies
Assessment	The editors assess the relevance of the comment, its clarity, the evidence that it offers, and its contribution. They may consult independent specialists.
Response of the authors	The authors of the article may be invited to respond. Their right to respond does not allow them to decide whether valid criticism is considered.
Disagreement	Disagreement with an article does not by itself guarantee the publication of a comment.
Concerns raised elsewhere	A concern that is raised on an external platform may be examined once it has been brought to the attention of the journal.
Integrity concerns	A credible concern about integrity is assessed without waiting for a comment to be published. Such concerns are handled under the Allegations of Misconduct policy.

3Publication and Assessment Status

A comment and a reply that are approved are clearly labeled and linked to the article that they concern.
Correspondence that was assessed by the editors is not presented as having passed the standard peer review.
A submission that is framed as new research follows the Peer Review Process.
Publication of a comment is not guaranteed, and the journal does not promise a fixed time for a decision.

Public criticism remains free. This procedure does not restrict lawful public criticism of an article, and it does not restrict the reuse of articles that are published under the CC BY 4.0 license, outside the journal, as described on the Licensing page.
