Many authors are not aware that even using the content from their previous published paper requires proper citation. Otherwise, it will be the case of self plagiarism. Dr. Eddy explains why and how to avoid this.
Ethical research and publication practices are essential for honest scholarly and scientific research. Most journals today are keenly aware of this: they publish policies on these issues and expect authors to “be aware of, and comply with, best practice in publication ethics”.This article discusses two widespread and related publishing practices that are considered unethical—duplicate publication and simultaneous submission. It draws on definitive international publication ethics guidelines.
In academia, the pressure to publish is high and the competition intense. This can lead authors to follow unethical publication practices, such as salami slicing, duplicate publication, and simultaneous submission. This slide deck explains these malpractices and shares tips on how authors can avoid them.
The document discusses the practice of "salami slicing" in academic publishing, which is the unethical fragmentation of a single study into multiple smaller papers to increase publication quantity. It provides examples of acceptable and unacceptable cases and explains the pitfalls, which include distorting the value of research, increasing non-essential literature, and misrepresenting the importance of findings. Researchers are advised to focus on quality over quantity and ensure full, cohesive reporting of results from a single study in as few papers as possible.
This document provides chemistry students with tips and guidance on using various databases and resources for their research, citing sources, and documenting search processes.

This document discusses journal finding and suggestion tools that can help researchers identify appropriate journals to publish their articles. It defines what academic journals are and their purpose. It then describes several online tools, like Edanz Journal Selector, Elsevier Journal Finder, EndNote Manuscript Matcher, and Springer Journal Suggester, that use keywords, titles, and abstracts to match articles to relevant journals based on the journal's scope, audience, and other factors. The document advises researchers to verify a journal's aims and author instructions before submitting to ensure their article is a good fit.
This document discusses the concept of "salami publication" or "salami slicing" which refers to splitting up the results of a single research study into multiple smaller publications. This allows researchers to artificially inflate their publication counts but it is considered questionable and unethical. Key points made include that salami publication misleads readers and reviewers by counting the same data multiple times, distorts the results of meta-analyses, and gives undeserved credit and benefits to authors. While small publishable units can help early career researchers, relying too heavily on this strategy is not looked upon favorably for career advancement. The document also provides recommendations for transparently reporting additional findings from a previously published study.
The document provides tips for finding peer-reviewed articles and their full text online. It recommends setting up the CSUEB library in Google Scholar settings to access full text through the library off campus. When using PubMed or Google Scholar, students should look for "Find it" links to get the full text article via the library. The fastest way to find the full text of a specific article is to copy its title into the library's OneSearch tool. Contact information is provided for the kinesiology librarian for additional assistance.

I find rejection — and even negative review comments associated with major revisions — very difficult. I have put months or years of my best work into a project, spent days or weeks writing it up, submitted it to a journal, pinned hopes on it, and waited for months for a response. And then they say it is not good enough! I can totally understand why you are feeling so unhappy. The aim of the seminar is to discuss the way to deal with a journal rejection and how to write a professional rebuttal letter.
The lecture discusses dealing with academic rejection and next steps after a paper is rejected. It notes that rejection is a common experience that researchers should not take personally. When a paper is rejected, it is important to carefully read the reviewer comments with an open mind to understand how the manuscript could be improved. The most common options after rejection are to resubmit to the same journal after addressing comments, submit to a different journal with revisions, or appeal the decision with justification. Filing away a paper without resubmission prevents valuable research from being shared. With careful consideration of reviewer feedback, rejection can often lead to a strengthened manuscript.
While plagiarism and copyright infringement both involve using someone else's work without permission, they differ in important ways:
- Plagiarism is an ethical issue concerning failing to properly attribute sources, while copyright infringement is a legal issue regarding using copyrighted work without permission.
- A student's use of a few sentences from a book in a school newspaper article may be plagiarism but not infringement due to the small amount used and educational context.
- Copying an entire book for articles without attribution would be infringement even with citation due to unauthorized copying of the entire work.
- Passing off a copied popular book as one's own work constitutes both plagiarism and copyright infringement.

Prepare to Publish: Find the Best Journal Know Your Rights as an AuthorStephanie Wiegand
In a landscape of predatory publishers, journal impact factors, required open access, and author fees, determining which journal to submit a manuscript to can be a complex calculation. Once a manuscript is accepted, authors may not know their rights as the copyright holder, and this can affect future scholarship. The University Libraries are here to help. In this workshop, attendees will learn about tools that assist in finding the right journal and tips for avoiding predatory publishers. Additionally, attendees will learn of their rights as academic authors and engage in a discussion about negotiating those rights with publishers.
When writing a paper, always acknowledge all sources clearly and avoid copying other authors’ words verbatim. Failure to do so could lead to loss of tenure/funding and loss of credibility.

Similar to Whats the big deal about self-plagiarism? (20)
Responding to peer reviewer comments can be a daunting task for most researchers. After spending months on your research project and preparing your manuscript, it is only natural that you will want to avoid making further changes to your paper. However, comments by peer reviewers and are meant to help you improve the qaulity of your manuscript. And the journal will only accept your paper for publication after you have addressed all of the reviewer comments.
This slide deck has 14 tips that will help you confidently and thoroughly address peer reviewers comments.
While writing your research paper, you might often refer to existing work published by other researchers in your field. However, it is extremely important to acknowledge all such sources clearly and completely. Attempting to use the ideas, words, or work of another person, without giving them due credit, is considered extremely unethical and is termed plagiarism.
This slide deck briefly explains 4 common types of plagiarism in academic publishing, how journals detect plagiarism in research papers, and the consequences of plagiarism.
In order for your manuscript to stand out from the other submissions you need to make sure you have everything right. Make sure the IMRaD structure as well as the submission requirements are fulfilled. Follow this checklist to make sure you have everything in place before you submit your paper.
In Part 1 of the Authorship series, we discussed criteria that will help you determine whether a particular contributor qualifies to be an author of your research paper. If you are submitting a multi-author paper, once you have ascertained the authors of your paper, how should you decide on the order in which these author names should be included? In this slide deck, we will discuss the basis on which you should list authors on your paper, who qualifies to be the first author, and how the remaining authors of your paper should be listed.
Through the course of your research, right until you get your your paper published, there will be several individuals who have contributed to your research project in different ways. However, not all of these individuals can be considered as authors of your paper. So who qualifies as an author on your manuscript?
This slide deck will clarify who is an author, who does not qualify as an author of your paper and also three unethical authorship-related practices that you must avoid.
Clinical trials are research studies conducted on humans to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of new medical strategies, drugs, treatments or devices. There are two main types of clinical trials - interventional which administer treatments to participants, and observational which observe existing treatments. Clinical trials progress through four phases, starting with small safety trials in Phase I and increasing in size up to Phase III which confirm effectiveness in large groups.

What do you need to know before and while working on a clinical trial? This slide deck tells you more about the things you need to remember when preparing to publish your clinical trial, from developing a research protocol and getting informed consent from study participants to registering your trial and preparing a clinical trial manuscript.
Clinical trials involve research conducted on humans to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of medical treatments. There are two main types of clinical trials: those that compare specific treatments to other treatments or no treatment, and those that observe existing treatments. Clinical trials are conducted in phases, with Phase I trials testing safety on small groups, Phase II trials evaluating effectiveness on larger groups, and Phase III trials confirming effectiveness on large groups. Phase IV trials study treatments after market approval to obtain additional risk and usage information.

Covey says most people look for quick fixes. They see a big success and want to know how he did it, believing (and hoping) they can do the same following a quick bullet list.
But real change, the author says, comes not from the outside in, but from the inside out. And the most fundamental way of changing yourself is through a paradigm shift.

Question
Dear Dr. Eddy, I recently submitted my manuscript for publication and it was rejected by the journal saying the
data is partially redundant since I have published it in the past. I agree that I used some of the data from a
previous paper because this is an extension of the same study. I would like to know why it is unacceptable to use
some of my own published data in my future publications.
Answer
I am sorry to learn about the journal’s decision on your manuscript.
A redundant publication is also referred to as self-plagiarism and is defined as a type of plagiarism in which
the writer republishes a work in its entirety or reuses portions of a previously written text while authoring a
new work. It is acceptable for authors to re-use their copyrighted works if the previously published work is
appropriately cited. However, it is considered unethical if the authors portray a previously published work as
new, when it is not.
A redundant publication could also lead to copyright infringement. Once a manuscript is accepted for
publication, the authors are often required to submit a signed copyright form to the publishers, wherein the
author guarantees that the work is original and that no part of it has been previously published. Though
authors can quote from their previous publications with the relevant citations, duplicate publication of
previously reported data is considered unethical.
According to guidelines issued by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE,) journal editors should
consider retracting a paper if it is found to be redundant. To prevent submission of redundant manuscripts,
individual journals follow specific guidelines. For example, the New England Journal of Medicine insists that
authors should submit to the editor copies of any published papers or other manuscripts in preparation or
submitted elsewhere that are related to the manuscript to be considered by the journal.
In the case of your manuscript, which is based on one of your earlier published studies, it is important that
you provide citations for all references to your previous work. Further, to avoid being considered guilty of
self-plagiarism, it would be advisable to add a note to the editor in the cover letter, informing him/her of
the previously published study that forms the basis of the current study.
