Simultaneous Multiple Journal Submissions: The Case Against

Steven Pressman

American Journal of Economics and Sociology, 1994, vol. 53, issue 3, 316-333

Abstract: Abstract. Because journals taking so long to review submissions, proposals have been made that authors be permitted to send the same paper to several journals at once. This paper argues that such a reform is ill‐advised. In particular, it will fail to speed up the reviewing process; it wilt fail to advance the careers of individuals who submit their papers to several journals at once; and it will have negative repercussions for the entire profession, because published results will become less reliable under a system of multiple submissions. The paper concludes with some more practical proposals to reduce decision times for submitted papers.
