Post-Publication Discussions

DINASIF supports open and constructive scholarly discussion of published articles. Readers may submit comments, questions, critiques, or findings concerning an article, including concerns about errors in data, methods, or interpretation of results.

How to Submit Comments

Comments should be submitted in writing to the DINASIF editorial email and include:

• the sender’s identity (name and affiliation);
• the title, DOI, and issue of the article concerned;
• a description of the comment supported by adequate arguments and scholarly references.

Anonymous comments, comments unrelated to the article’s content, or personal attacks will not be considered.
