The Results of an Applied Research Study for Anxiety Management

question 1

Multiple Choice

The results of an applied research study for anxiety management in children were published in both a highly respected nursing research journal and in a second journal specific to pediatrics that focuses on practice issues. The first article contained detailed statistical analyses and discussions of the results, as an extension of the author's previous basic research. The second presented the research in much simpler language, providing pictures of the children and discussing nursing practice applications. Why does this or does this not represent duplicate publication?

• A)It does represent duplicate publication because both articles reported results of the same study.
• B)It does not represent duplicate publication because the language was completely different in the two articles, and the journal audience was different.
• C)It does represent duplicate publication because the second article was a paraphrase of the first.
• D)It does not represent duplicate publication because the second article referenced the first and focused heavily on practice applications, not included in the first.
