Prohibited Practices
  • Simultaneous submission of the same manuscript to multiple journals.
  • Republishing substantially the same article in another journal.
  • Reusing substantial portions of a previously published article without disclosure.
  • Dividing one study into multiple papers without sufficient scientific justification.
  • Failing to disclose closely related publications.
