The act of publishing the same data and results in more than one journal or publication refers to which professional issue?

APartial publication
BDuplicate publication ✓ Correct
CFull publication
DPrior publication
Correct answer: (B) Duplicate publication
Explanation

Publishing the same data and results in more than one journal is duplicate publication.

Partial publication reports only a portion of a study's findings, not the whole again.

Full publication simply means presenting a complete study once, not repeating it.

Prior publication means the material appeared earlier, not that it is repeated in parallel.

Duplicate publication wastes editorial resources and inflates a researcher's record.

It is treated as a form of research misconduct by journals.
