期刊对批评先前研究的信件、评论和在线评论（出版后评论）施加相当大的控制。我们评估了22个科学学科（N = 330种期刊）中15种顶级期刊的出版后评论相关政策（研究一）和实践（研究二）。有207份（63%）期刊接受了发表后的评论，并经常对长度（中位数1000，四分位数范围（IQR）500-1200字）和提交时间（中位数12，IQR 4-26周）进行限制。最严格的限制是175字和两周;有些政策没有限制。在2018年由接受发表后评论的期刊发表的2066篇随机抽样研究文章中，39篇（1.9%，95%置信区间[1.4，2.6]）与至少一项发表后评论有关（总共有58项发表后评论）。在58项发表后的评论中，44项收到了作者的回复，其中41项声称原始结论没有改变。临床医学具有最活跃的发表后评论文化：所有期刊都接受发表后评论，并发表了最多的发表后评论，但也对长度（中位数400，IQR 400-550字）和提交时间（中位数4，IQR 4-6周）施加了最严格的限制。我们的研究结果表明，排名靠前的学术期刊往往对出版后评论的培养、记录和传播构成严重障碍。
Journals exert considerable control over letters, commentaries and online comments that criticize prior research (post-publication critique). We assessed policies (Study One) and practice (Study Two) related to post-publication critique at 15 top-ranked journals in each of 22 scientific disciplines (N = 330 journals). Two-hundred and seven (63%) journals accepted post-publication critique and often imposed limits on length (median 1000, interquartile range (IQR) 500–1200 words) and time-to-submit (median 12, IQR 4–26 weeks). The most restrictive limits were 175 words and two weeks; some policies imposed no limits. Of 2066 randomly sampled research articles published in 2018 by journals accepting post-publication critique, 39 (1.9%, 95% confidence interval [1.4, 2.6]) were linked to at least one post-publication critique (there were 58 post-publication critiques in total). Of the 58 post-publication critiques, 44 received an author reply, of which 41 asserted that original conclusions were unchanged. Clinical Medicine had the most active culture of post-publication critique: all journals accepted post-publication critique and published the most post-publication critique overall, but also imposed the strictest limits on length (median 400, IQR 400–550 words) and time-to-submit (median 4, IQR 4–6 weeks). Our findings suggest that top-ranked academic journals often pose serious barriers to the cultivation, documentation and dissemination of post-publication critique.
