Simultaneous Submissions
Many journals have strict policies against simultaneous submissions. It is discouraged because it can lead to wasted reviewer time and potential issues of duplicate publication.
Simultaneously submitting a paper to multiple journals is generally considered unethical in the research community. When you submit a paper to a journal, you are typically required to confirm that the paper has not been published or submitted elsewhere. In addition, multiple submissions can lead to issues such as duplicate publications, wasting reviewers' time, and potential conflicts of interest.
Each journal has its own review process, and reviewers are selected based on their expertise in the specific field. Different journals can have the same reviewers for your paper, but this is a natural occurrence and not a justification for simultaneous submission.
If you were to submit a paper to multiple journals simultaneously and this was discovered, it could have inevitable consequences for your reputation as a researcher. Journals may choose to blacklist you, preventing you from submitting papers to them in the future. It is critical to adhere to ethical guidelines and respect the review process of each journal by submitting your paper to one journal at a time and waiting for a decision before submitting it elsewhere. The best journal for your research should always be carefully chosen, with attention given to aspects including the journal's impact factor, target audience, and scope. You can consult advisors, mentors, or experts who have experience with publishing in your field if you are unsure about the appropriateness of a journal for your manuscript.
Be aware that conferences frequently follow different and distinctive patterns. As a result, papers presented at conferences may be submitted simultaneously to another conference or a journal.
Likewise, some conferences have rules similar to those of journals and do not accept simultaneous submissions. The basic rule is that after journal article submission, no copies should be under the review process of other journals.
If you have submitted a paper to one journal in the past and now wish to submit it to another journal instead, it is crucial to take the following steps.
First, you need to formally withdraw the paper from the initial journal by contacting the editor and informing them of your decision. This typically involves sending a letter or an email explaining that you no longer wish to pursue publication in their journal.
Second, it's critical to be sincere and honest when submitting the paper to the next journal, stating that it was previously under the review process at a different publication but was later withdrawn.
By including this information, you may ensure that this new journal is mindful of the paper's background. It is important to remember that you can submit an article after its rejection to another journal for the review process. In a cover letter, authors typically confirm that the paper they have submitted hasn't been published elsewhere or submitted to another journal before.
There are two main reasons for this prohibition:
The main reason is to avoid wasting reviewers' time, which is extremely valuable to the editor. Finding professional reviewers, convincing them to review the paper, and allotting time for the review process can be difficult.
The second reason is to prevent the editor from publishing a paper that is already published elsewhere. In the event of such an occurrence (known as duplicate publication), the journal editor rejects the paper and notifies the authors' institution/university of the authors' names and the paper's titles.
