Multiple publication

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Duplicate publication refers to publishing the same intellectual material more than once, by the author or publisher. it does not refer to the unauthorized republication by someone else, which constitutes plagiarism, copyright violation, or both.

There are several forms of duplicate publication:

Contents 1 legitimate deriviatives 2 legitimate reformating 3 self-plagiarism 4 Republishing of very similar works 5 duplicate submission to journals 6 journal republishing

[edit] legitimate deriviatives

This is deliberate republication in another format, such as the simultaneous publcation of a motion picture and a tie-in book. In doingthis, it It is necessary to respect copyright, for the rights to a derivative of the original work remains with the author of the work, or the publisher or other party to whom the author has assigned the copyright.

As a research-paper is an implicit claim of furthering knowledge, the researcher must state what exactly is the claim of novelty. That would let the editor to rate the article in view of their policy. For example, all/most would reject a paper if already published in another journal, although may tolerate (as IEEE does) a re-edited [and expanded] conference paper.

Duplicate submission is not plagiarism, but it's considered as serious academic misbehavior. Even when a publication fee is paid, it nonetheless wastes the most important resource im academic publishing--the time and work of the referees and the editors, and contributes to the problem it is intended to slve, the slow speed of editorial review. . And there is the unfortunate posiblity that more than one journal will accept it.

Duplicate submission can be defended. The slowness of academic eidting is so great that if an author waits until the decision of the first publisher is known, the submission to the second jounal may take place a whole year later. Yes that is a waste of resource, in the case of those journals which do not get the paper to publish. That is, if 15 journals nod that paper, while only one of them may publish, that is a waste -- for 14 of them. Most (all?) journals and popular magazines already tell the potential author not to do that. Alternatively, for an application to the graduate school, the university does not ban that. If that model (request a fee) is/were popular also in the publication field, the "waste of resource" would only relate to the money from out of the pocket of the applicant. If the final publication does pay (or, the author does want that for other motivation), the author may take that risk to pay for the review of a few, I think. This would facilitate more opportunities to get tested, soone

It occasionally happens that a journal will publish the same article twice, whether in the same or different journals.
