Jurnal Sains Farmasi & Klinis (JSFK) encourages open discussions and transparency in scholarly publishing. This policy outlines the journal's commitment to facilitating post-publication debates and providing mechanisms for correcting, revising, or retracting articles after publication to maintain the integrity and accuracy of its content. JSFK follows the Core Practices outlined by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

Post-publication Discussions

JSFK welcomes post-publication discussions on published articles. Authors, readers, and the scientific community are encouraged to engage in constructive and evidence-based debates on the content and findings of published works. The journal provides several avenues for post-publication discussions:

• Letters to the Editor: Readers can submit letters to the editor to share their opinions, comments, or additional insights related to specific articles. The editorial board will consider publishing selected letters to foster well-rounded scholarly conversation.
• Comments on the Website: For security reasons, JSFK does not allow or provide a platform for readers to post comments directly on the website, as online comments are prone to spam and hacking. Instead, comments related to articles should be made through the journal’s submission system to facilitate discussions and interactions.
• External Moderated Platforms: The journal acknowledges the value of external moderated platforms, such as PubPeer, for scholarly discussions. Readers are encouraged to use these platforms to discuss JSFK articles and their findings.

Corrections, Revisions, and Retractions

JSFK is committed to ensuring the accuracy and reliability of published articles. If errors, inaccuracies, or significant omissions are identified after publication, the journal will implement the following measures:

• Corrections: If minor errors or typographical mistakes are identified that do not affect the scientific content, JSFK will issue a formal correction, clearly stating the errors and providing accurate information.
• Revisions: If substantial errors or inaccuracies are identified that affect the scientific content, the author(s) will be asked to submit a revised version of the article with the necessary corrections. The revised article will undergo editorial review and, if approved, will be published with a note indicating that it is a revised version.
• Retractions: In cases of severe misconduct, ethical violations, or fraudulent data, JSFK may consider retracting an article. Retractions will be issued when there is clear evidence of unreliability or falsification of data in the published work. The retracted article will remain accessible, with a prominent notice indicating it has been retracted and providing a clear explanation for the retraction.

Compliance and Transparency

The editorial board, reviewers, and authors of JSFK are expected to comply with the policies outlined in this document and actively participate in post-publication discussions and corrections as needed. All corrections, revisions, and retractions will be documented and made publicly available on the journal's website.

Review of the Policy

JSFK will periodically review and update this policy to ensure its effectiveness and alignment with best practices in post-publication discussions and corrections. Any revisions to this policy will be communicated to authors and made publicly available on the journal's website.
