Duplicate Publications

Research that is both conceptually and methodologically sound is published with the goal of advancing many scientific disciplines. Publications benefits research by providing investigative studies for researchers to review and critique. It reduces wasted effort by allowing researchers to assess what has been accomplished, and provides direction by identifying gaps in knowledge and inquiry. Due to the limited number of manuscripts accepted for publication each year, it is essential for each submission to either represent original research, to replicate and confirm previous findings, and to make important contributions to the literature.
