Post-Publication Discussion
Schrödinger: Journal of Physics Education recognizes the importance of post-publication discussion in maintaining the accuracy, transparency, and integrity of the scholarly record. Readers, researchers, authors, and other members of the academic community are encouraged to submit constructive comments, questions, corrections, or concerns regarding articles published in Schrödinger: Journal of Physics Education.
Post-publication discussions may address the research methodology, data, analysis, interpretation, findings, or other aspects of a published article related to physics education and its relevant interdisciplinary fields. All comments must be evidence-based, academically relevant, and expressed in a professional and respectful manner. Personal attacks, defamatory statements, inappropriate language, and comments unrelated to the scholarly content of the article will not be considered for publication.
Substantive comments or concerns regarding published articles may be submitted to the editorial office through the journal's official communication channels. The editorial team will assess the relevance and validity of the submissions and, where appropriate, invite the original authors to provide a response. Authors are encouraged to respond objectively and transparently to legitimate questions or concerns raised about their work.
When a post-publication discussion identifies a minor error that does not affect the validity or interpretation of the research, Schrödinger: Journal of Physics Education may publish a Correction or another appropriate editorial notice. If substantial concerns arise regarding the reliability, integrity, or validity of a published article, the journal may conduct an investigation and, where necessary, publish an Expression of Concern or Retraction, in accordance with applicable publication ethics principles and relevant Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines.
All post-publication actions are intended to preserve the integrity of the scholarly record. Decisions regarding corrections, expressions of concern, or retractions will be based on available evidence and handled fairly, transparently, and independently of personal, institutional, or other competing interests. Schrödinger: Journal of Physics Education is committed to ensuring that post-publication discussions contribute constructively to the advancement of knowledge and the continuous improvement of research and scholarship in physics education.
