3 Separate errors that have been proven, questions that are still open, and differences of interpretation.
4 Leave out confidential information and details that identify participants, unless they are essential.

2. Editorial Consideration and Author Response

Topic What happens
Assessment Editors assess the relevance, the clarity, the evidence, and the contribution of each comment. Independent specialists may be consulted.
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 a criticism is considered.
Publication is not guaranteed Disagreement alone does not guarantee that a comment will be published.
Concerns on other platforms A concern that is raised on an external platform may be examined once it is brought to the attention of the journal.
Integrity concerns A credible concern about research integrity is assessed without requiring a published comment first.

3. Publication and Assessment Status

Topic What happens
Labeling An approved comment or reply is clearly labeled and linked to the article.
Assessment status Correspondence that is assessed by the editors is not presented as having passed standard peer review.
New research New research that is submitted in response to an article follows the Peer Review Process.
Timing Publication is not automatic, and there is no fixed timeline.
Public criticism and reuse This procedure does not limit lawful public criticism of an article, or the reuse of articles that are published under CC BY 4.0 outside the journal, as described on the Licensing page.
