A student and I stumbled upon two identical papers with slightly different titles published in the same journal two months apart.
The assignment was for the students to find two papers on a topic of interest and compare and contrast the researcher¹s findings in the two papers. I didn¹t rule out the papers being from the same authors. He came to me to ask if the paper he¹d found was a good one and I told him it was, but he was having trouble finding a second paper. So, we did some PsyInfo searching and found a second paper by the same authors, then after about a minute¹s reading realized the paper was, word for word, identical. I was stunned. There was no indication that it was a major revision because of an error in the first version, there were no material differences between the two versions at all. In the back of my mind I was thinking: ³I¹ll bet these jokers are claiming two pubs in their CV.² -- Paul Bernhardt Frostburg State University Frostburg, MD, USA On 10/27/08 12:52 PM, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > > > If a prof publishes the same article in two different journals,should this be > counted as two publications? > I knew a colleague who published the same study in two different journals but > he submitted two different > titles .
