Duplicate publication: a joint statement from the Singapore Medical Journal and the Medical Journal of Malaysia.

چکیده
359 We, the Editors of the Singapore Medical Journal (SMJ) and the Medical Journal of Malaysia (MJM), have noted a number of duplicate submissions to our respective journals over the recent year. This is a dishonest and unethical practice that is deplored by editors of medical and scientific journals. In addition, we feel that punitive measures should be applied to authors found guilty of duplicate publication, in order to discourage this undesirable practice. Both the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICJME) and the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME) have issued policy statements about duplicate publications.
