日本語で書いた論文をそのまま翻訳して英語のジャーナルに投稿したり、逆に英語ですでに発表した論文を日本語に直して出版したり・・・。せっかくだからいろんな言語で発表したい、という気持ちはわかりますが、それって論文の剽窃に当たるのでしょうか？英文校正エディテージのマスコットキャラクター、Dr. Eddyがこのプレゼンテーションでわかりやすく説明します。

1. Is publishing the
same paper in
different languages
duplication?

2. If a paper is published in Japanese, can the same
paper be published in an English journal?

globally?

Question received from a Editage client

3. Introduction
 Duplicate publication is a grey area that not all authors or even journal editors are
very clear about.
 While in most cases, duplicate publication is considered a form of academic fraud, the
International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) uses the term “secondary
publication” to describe acceptable republication of manuscripts that have already
been published.
 These include rare cases in which an article needs to reach the widest possible audience,
through republication either in another journal or in another language.

5. 1. Necessary approvals
 The authors must receive formal approval from the editors of
both journals.
 The journal editor responsible for the secondary publication
must have a copy of the primary published version.

6. 2. Time Interval
 There should be an interval of at least one week between
publications.

7. 3. Target Audience
 The secondary publication should be clearly intended for a
different group of readers.
 It should also faithfully reflect the data and interpretations
discussed in the primary version.

8. 4. Due Acknowledgment
 In the secondary publication, the title should indicate that the
paper has been published before.
 The footnote on the title page should provide a reference for the
primary publication.

9.  Reproducing a paper that was previously published in
another language would be considered duplication, unless all
the above conditions are met.
 The most important thing is that the editors of both journals
are informed of the circumstances and agree to the
republication.
