Authors have an obligation to make sure their paper is based on original–never before published–research. Intentionally, submitting or re-submitting work for duplicate publication is considered a breach of publishing ethics. Note, this authors introduce to important journal as a black list authors.
- Simultaneous submission occurs when a person submits a paper to different publications at the same time, which can result in more than one journal publishing that particular paper.
- Duplicate/multiple publication occurs when two or more papers, without full cross-reference, share essentially the same hypotheses, data, discussion points, and/or conclusions.This can occur in varying degrees: literal duplication, partial but substantial duplication, or even duplication by paraphrasing.
One of the main reasons of duplicate publication of original research is considered unethical, is that it can result in "inadvertent double-counting or inappropriate weighting of the results of a single study, which distorts the available evidence".
In summary, articles submitted for publication must be original and must not have been submitted to any other publication. At the time of submission, authors must disclose any details of related papers (also when in a different language), similar papers in press, and translations.
