The results of an applied research study for anxiety management in children were published in both a highly respected nursing research journal and a second journal specific to pediatrics that focused on practice issues
The first article contained detailed statistical analyses and discussions of the results, as an extension of the author's previous basic research. The second presented the research in much simpler language, providing pictures of the children and discussing practice applications. Why does this represent or not represent duplicate publication?
a. It does represent duplicate publication, because both articles reported results of the same study.
b. It does not represent duplicate publication, because the language was completely different in the two articles, and the journal audience was different.
c. It does represent duplicate publication, because the second article was a paraphrase of the first.
d. It does not represent duplicate publication, because the second article referenced the first and focused heavily on practice applications, which were not included in the first.
ANS: D
Duplicate publication is the practice of publishing the same article or major portions of the article in two or more print or electronic media without notifying the editors or referencing the other publication in the reference list.
