Duplicate Data Publication
Duplicate data publication is a breach of scholarly integrity where researchers publish the same dataset a second time, presenting it as though it were new, original research. This practice is unethical because it distorts the scientific literature and misleadingly amplifies the impact of a single set of findings.
