Post-publication Discussions and Corrections

Based on COPE's core practices and WAME's guidelines, the Teaching, Learning, and Development Journal emphasizes constructive post-publication discussions and corrections to maintain the scholarly record's accuracy and integrity. The key elements of this policy include:

• Post-publication Comments:

  • Readers and authors are encouraged to engage in constructive discussions about published articles via the journal's online discussion forum or other designated platforms.

• Corrections:

  • If post-publication errors are identified that affect the article's interpretation or understanding, the journal will issue corrections to maintain the scholarly record's integrity.
  • Corrections will be made transparently, with clear indications of what was changed and why.

• Retractions:

  • Retractions may be necessary when errors compromise the research's validity or ethical standards.
  • Retractions will be conducted transparently, following COPE's guidelines, with clear explanations provided.

• Expressions of Concern:

  • If there are concerns about an article's integrity but the evidence is inconclusive, an expression of concern may be issued while investigations continue.
