Post-Publication Discussion
Fon encourages constructive scholarly discussion of published articles, in line with the guidance of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
Submitting comments
Readers may send comments, critiques, or questions about published articles by email to [email protected], stating the article title, DOI, and the comment. Comments should be scholarly, supported by evidence, and courteous.
Handling
- The editorial office assesses the relevance of the comment to the article.
- Relevant comments are forwarded to the authors for a response.
- If the comment and the authors’ response are judged important for readers, the editorial office may publish them as a note or letter to the editor with the consent of those involved.
- If a comment reveals an error or possible misconduct, the editorial office follows up under the Corrections and Retractions Policy or the Procedure for Allegations of Research Misconduct.
