Post-Publication Discussion
Journal of Integrated Elementary Education (JIEEd) welcomes constructive, evidence-based discussion of published research as part of an accurate and accountable scholarly record.
Who May Comment and on What
- Readers, researchers, authors, and other concerned parties may submit a reasoned scientific question, methodological critique, replication finding, or evidence of an error.
- Comments must identify the relevant article and specific concern, use respectful language, and distinguish factual evidence from opinion.
- Personal attacks, unsupported allegations, discriminatory language, confidential participant information, and irrelevant promotion are not acceptable.
How to Submit a Comment
Contact the JIEEd editorial office and include the article title, DOI or permanent URL, a concise statement of the concern, and supporting evidence or references. JIEEd does not require an open public comment feature on each article page.
