Post-Publication Discussions and Corrections
IJoSPaT welcomes scholarly debate on its published articles and corrects the record openly when errors are found.
Discussion.
Readers may comment on or criticise a published article by sending a Letter to the Editor (up to 1,500 words) within 12 months of publication. If the letter adds substantively to the debate, it is reviewed and the original authors are invited to reply; both may be published together.

Corrections are published as separate, citable notices in the next issue, linked to the original article, and recorded in Crossref. Small typographic errors that do not affect meaning may be corrected silently within one week of publication; later changes always receive a notice.
How to report an error.
Send the article title, DOI and a description of the problem to the editorial office. The editor responds within 14 days.
