3. Also known as duplicate
publication, occurs when the
same or substantially similar
research findings are published
in multiple papers or journals
without proper attribution or
disclosure.
REDUNDANT PUBLICATION
4. TYPES OF REDUNDANT PUBLICATION
Duplicate Publication
• Submitting the same
manuscript or research
findings to multiple
journals simultaneously.
• Failure to mention prior
publication(s) can lead to
self-plagiarism and a lack
of transparency.
Salami Slicing
Dividing a single study
into several smaller
publications, often
reporting on different
aspects of the same data.
• Fragmented publication
may mislead readers
about the true
significance of the
research.
Overlapping publications
• It involves the submission
or publication of research
work that shares
significant portions of
content with previously
published work but also
includes some new data
or findings.
• Unlike duplicate
publications, the overlap
is partial but still raises
ethical concerns.
5. Why is Redundant Publication a Concern?
• Redundant publication can have serious consequences for research
integrity and credibility.
• Lack of awareness of ethical guidelines.
• Redundant publication can call into question the ethical conduct of
researchers who engage in this practice.

11. Ethical Guidelines
1. Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE): COPE provides
comprehensive guidelines for authors, editors, and publishers to promote
ethical research practices.
2. International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE): The
ICMJE offers recommendations on the responsible conduct of medical
research, including redundant publication.
3. Council of Science Editors (CSE): CSE provides ethical guidelines for
scientific publishing and addressing redundant publication issues.
12. Responsible Publishing Practices
1. Consolidate Data: Avoid dividing a single study into multiple publications if
a comprehensive presentation is possible.
2. Follow Journal Policies: Adhere to journal guidelines on submission and
ethical practices to avoid conflicts.
3. Collaborate and Communicate: Engage in collaborations and open
communication to prevent redundant publication among research groups.
13. Conclusion
Redundant publication undermines the principles of research ethics and poses serious
consequences to the scientific community. Adhering to ethical guidelines and promoting
responsible publishing practices are crucial to maintain the integrity and reliability of
scientific literature.
Redundant publication is a serious breach of research ethics that undermines the integrity of
scientific literature and the trustworthiness of researchers.
To maintain the highest standards of academic integrity, researchers must refrain from
engaging in such practices.
Journals and academic institutions should continue to educate researchers about the ethical
implications and adopt robust policies to prevent and detect redundant publication, ensuring
the dissemination of original and valuable research for the advancement of knowledge.
