Post-Publication Policy

Journal of Nesia Engineering Science (JNESc) is committed to keeping the scholarly record accurate, transparent, and reliable after publication. This policy explains how post-publication discussion, corrections, and other changes to published articles are handled.

1. Post-Publication Discussion

Readers, researchers, practitioners, and authors are welcome to submit comments, questions, critiques, or additional evidence about any article published in JNESc. Comments should be sent to ajurnalnesia@gmail.com with the subject line "Post-Publication Discussion – [Article Title]" and should include:

  • the commenter's full name, affiliation, and email address;
  • the title, volume, issue, and DOI or URL of the article; and
  • a clear, objective, evidence-based description of the comment or concern, with supporting references where relevant.

Anonymous comments, and comments containing personal attacks, offensive language, or unsupported allegations, will not be considered.

2. Handling Procedure

  1. The Editor-in-Chief acknowledges receipt and assesses the relevance and merit of the comment.
  2. Substantive comments are forwarded to the corresponding author, who is invited to respond within a reasonable time.
  3. Where necessary, the editor consults the original reviewers or independent experts.
  4. Depending on the outcome, the journal may publish the comment and the authors' reply as a Letter to the Editor, issue one of the notices below, or take no further action.

3. Changes to Published Articles

Once published, an article is considered the final version of record and is not changed silently. Any necessary change follows the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines and is published as a separate, linked notice:

  • Erratum – corrects an error introduced by the journal during editing or production.
  • Corrigendum – corrects a significant error made by the authors that does not invalidate the main findings.
  • Expression of concern – alerts readers to serious concerns about an article while an investigation is ongoing or inconclusive.
  • Retraction – withdraws an article whose findings are unreliable or which involves serious misconduct, as described in the Plagiarism & Retraction Policy.

Notices are published in the next available issue, are freely accessible, and are linked to the original article, which remains online.

4. Requests from Authors

Authors who discover a significant error in their published article must notify the editor promptly and cooperate in publishing a correction or retraction. Requests for minor changes that do not affect the content (for example, a misspelled name) are reviewed by the editor case by case.

5. Confidentiality and Fairness

All post-publication matters are handled fairly, objectively, and confidentially until a final decision is reached. Authors and commenters are treated with equal respect throughout the process.
