Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Most professional refereed journals have a policy of not allowing simultaneous submissions, meaning that authors cannot submit the same manuscript to multiple journals at the same time. This helps ensure that the journal has the exclusive opportunity to review and potentially publish the article, and it prevents wasted time and effort on the part of the editors and reviewers. While submission requirements for other aspects such as reference style and submission method may vary somewhat between journals, the prohibition on simultaneous submissions is a common practice. Submission fees can also vary widely between journals, so this option is not a reliable indicator of common submission requirements.
