Duplicate and Redundant Publication Policy

NJEHETR requires manuscripts submitted for publication to represent original scholarly contributions that have not been improperly published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere.

1. Duplicate Publication

Duplicate publication occurs when substantially similar research findings or manuscript content are published more than once without appropriate disclosure or justification.

The journal does not accept manuscripts that constitute undisclosed duplicate publication.

2. Simultaneous Submission

Authors must not submit the same manuscript simultaneously to NJEHETR and another journal for consideration.

3. Redundant Publication

Authors should disclose previous publications, conference papers, preprints or related manuscripts that substantially overlap with their submissions.

Where a manuscript develops an earlier conference presentation or publication, the relationship should be clearly disclosed, and the new submission should contain a meaningful scholarly contribution.

4. Author Declaration

Authors submitting manuscripts to NJEHETR are expected to confirm that:

The manuscript is original.
It is not under consideration by another journal.
Relevant previous publications have been disclosed.
All sources and reused materials have been properly acknowledged.

5. Editorial Action

Where duplicate or redundant publication is suspected, the Editorial Office may request clarification, supporting documentation or revisions.

Established cases may result in rejection, withdrawal or retraction, depending on the circumstances.
