BAKIRA: Jurnal Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat encourages scholarly discussion and constructive feedback on articles published in the journal. Post-publication discussion provides an opportunity for authors, readers, reviewers, community partners, and other stakeholders to exchange views, clarify information, and contribute to the improvement of knowledge and practices in community service and community engagement.

Readers and other interested parties may submit comments, questions, corrections, or critical observations concerning published articles, including the methodology of community service activities, the implementation process, the reported outcomes, the interpretation of results, and the relevance of the activities to community needs and sustainable development. All submissions must be evidence-based, respectful, relevant to the published article, and consistent with academic integrity and publication ethics.

Submission and Editorial Assessment

Post-publication comments should be submitted to the editorial office of BAKIRA through the contact information provided on the journal's website. Submissions must clearly identify the article being discussed and provide sufficient supporting information for the editorial team to assess the issues raised.

The editorial team will evaluate each submission for relevance, scholarly merit, factual accuracy, and compliance with the journal's publication ethics policies. The journal may invite the original authors to respond to substantive comments when appropriate. Decisions regarding publication of comments and responses rest with the editorial team.

Authors' Responses

Authors are encouraged to respond constructively to substantive comments or questions concerning their published articles. Responses should address the issues raised objectively and provide clarification or supporting evidence where necessary. The editorial team may publish the comments and the authors' responses to facilitate transparent and balanced scholarly discussion.

Corrections and Retractions

If post-publication discussions reveal errors, inaccuracies, ethical concerns, or possible misconduct, the journal will assess the available evidence and take appropriate action in accordance with its editorial policies and recognized publication ethics standards. Depending on the circumstances, actions may include publishing a correction, an editorial statement, an expression of concern, or a retraction. Allegations of misconduct will be investigated fairly, and no conclusion will be reached solely on the basis of unverified claims.

Personal attacks, defamatory statements, harassment, and unsupported allegations will not be accepted. The journal reserves the right to decline or remove comments that violate its publication ethics policies or applicable legal requirements.
