Secondary Publication

Secondary Publication　（November 1, 2026: Partially revised） 

JJSCE may accept secondary publications only if they meet the criteria described below:

• The authors have received approval from the editors of both journals (the editor concerned with secondary publication must have access to the primary version). The authors must submit permissions letters when submitting the manuscript
• The priority of the primary publication is respected by a publication interval negotiated by both editors with the authors.
• The paper for secondary publication is intended for a different group of readers; an abbreviated version could be sufficient.
• The secondary version faithfully reflects the authors, data, and interpretations of the primary version.
• The secondary version informs readers, peers, and documenting agencies that the paper has been published in whole or in part elsewhere—for example, with a note that might read, "This article is based on a study first reported in the [journal title, with full reference]"—and the secondary version cites the primary reference.
• The title of the secondary publication should indicate that it is a secondary publication (complete or abridged republication or translation) of a primary publication.
• The secondary version should provide legitimate and useful information to the readership.
• Copies of the primary version should be included with the submission.
