Multi-submission of one manuscript refers to the simultaneous submission of the same work or manuscript to multiple publishing houses or periodicals in order to publish on multiple platforms. This kind of behavior is common in academia, media and creative fields.
Article 33 of the Copyright Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates: "If a copyright owner submits a manuscript to a newspaper or periodical agency and fails to receive a notice of publication from the newspaper or periodical agency within 15 days from the date of publication of the manuscript, or fails to receive a notice of publication from the periodical agency within 30 days from the date of publication of the manuscript, he may submit the same work to another newspaper or periodical agency. Unless otherwise agreed by both parties. " This means that the author is not allowed to contribute more than one manuscript within the specified date.
Matters needing attention in multi-submission of one manuscript
1. Understand the submission requirements: Before submitting to a journal or platform, you must read the submission requirements carefully to ensure that the work meets the publishing standards. This includes format, word count, theme and other requirements.
2. Ensure originality: multiple submissions for one manuscript require originality of the work to avoid plagiarism or repeated publication. Before submission, the works need to be strictly reviewed and revised to ensure their uniqueness.
3. Declare originality: When submitting a manuscript, you must declare the originality of the work and promise not to publish it on other platforms or journals. Some journals or platforms will check originality. Plagiarism or repeated publication may affect your reputation and contribution opportunities.
4. Pay attention to the order of submission: when submitting more than one manuscript, it is recommended to sort according to the popularity, influence and review speed of the journal or platform. This can improve the publication probability of the manuscript and avoid the problems caused by time conflict.
