SEPSR will not publish any article without receipt a certification by the author that the submission is original.

It is our standard policy not to publish material in our journals that has been previously published elsewhere except in translation.

We will not generally republish material because:

i) publishing original high-quality content is important to our readers,

ii) in an environment where most material is available electronically, previously published material tends to already be available so the need for it to be made 'more accessible' diminishes and

iii) citation/attribution considerations: republication of material means that the same article will exist with multiple bibliographic records, which can cause confusion and dilute citations.
