Leading editors join forces to explain 'prior publication' to new researchers
9 January 2003 London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine https://lshtm.ac.uk/themes/custom/lshtm/images/lshtm-logo-black.pngA new policy statement explaining what is meant by 'prior publication', which should prove invaluable to new (and existing) researchers, has just been published.
The editors of the Journal of Health Services Research and Policy, which has its editorial office within LSHTM, have joined forces with the editors of other journals to produce a policy statement aimed at helping authors to determine whether work which was previously published in a different format constitutes 'prior publication', and would therefore be prohibited from publication in academic journals. Common Statement on Prior Publication Policy from Academy Health's website (PDF).
