Does the journal allow me to republish the article in different journals?

Journal policies universally prohibit republishing the same article verbatim in different journals. This practice, known as duplicate or redundant publication, is considered a serious breach of scholarly ethics. Permitted scenarios are highly exceptional and strictly defined. These typically include publishing translations with explicit publisher permission and full citation of the original, significantly expanding and republishing conference proceedings papers only with journal consent and clear disclosure, or potential very long-term republication of historical works with copyright clearance. Any form of republication demands clear declaration of its prior existence and explicit consent from all relevant copyright holders, usually the original publisher. Authors must exercise extreme caution. Always thoroughly review the specific policies of both the original and target journals before considering any form of republication. Understand copyright transfer agreements signed with the initial publisher. If permissible, secure written permissions, transparently cite the prior work, and fully disclose its origins to editors and readers to maintain scholarly integrity, avoid copyright infringement, and uphold the credibility of scientific literature.
