Jurnal Artefak supports post-publication discussion as an essential part of scholarly development, critical evaluation of research findings, and the preservation of publication integrity. Post-publication discussion provides readers, researchers, and the academic community with an opportunity to submit comments, critiques, clarifications, or alternative perspectives on articles published in Jurnal Artefak.
Post-publication contributions may address research methodology, data interpretation, source utilization, the soundness of arguments, the validity of findings, theoretical relevance, or the scholarly contribution of a published article. In historical studies, such contributions may also examine the authenticity and credibility of historical sources, historiographical interpretations, archival evidence, and alternative perspectives on historical events and sociocultural phenomena.
All contributions must be professional, objective, evidence-based, and expressed in respectful academic language. Comments must focus on the scholarly content of the published article and must not contain personal attacks, discriminatory statements, defamatory allegations, or claims unsupported by adequate evidence. Contributors are responsible for the accuracy and originality of their submissions and for complying with publication ethics standards.
Readers and researchers wishing to submit a post-publication contribution may contact the editors of Jurnal Artefak through the journal's official communication channels. Submissions should clearly identify the article under discussion, explain the main issue or scholarly contribution, and provide relevant references and supporting evidence where appropriate.
The editors will assess each contribution based on its relevance to the published article, quality of argumentation, adequacy of evidence, academic contribution, and compliance with publication ethics. Where necessary, the editors may seek assessments from reviewers or independent experts and provide the authors of the original article with an opportunity to respond or offer clarification.
Comments and responses accepted for publication will undergo editorial processing in accordance with Jurnal Artefak's policies. The publication of a comment or response does not constitute automatic endorsement of any party's position; rather, it is intended to facilitate open, constructive, and responsible scholarly exchange.
If post-publication discussion reveals substantial scholarly errors, concerns regarding research integrity, or other issues that may affect the reliability of a published article, the editors will conduct further assessment and take appropriate editorial action. Depending on the findings and the severity of the issue, such action may include the publication of a correction, an editorial statement, or a retraction.
Jurnal Artefak is committed to ensuring that post-publication discussion remains fair, transparent, and directed toward improving the quality of scholarly knowledge. All procedures will respect academic freedom, research integrity, the rights of the parties involved, and applicable publication ethics principles.
