Ingelfinger rule
The Ingelfinger rule ( English Ingelfinger rule ) states that once published article a second time to be accepted by a scientific journal.
history
The Ingelfinger Rule was established in 1969 by Franz J. Ingelfinger , then editor of The New England Journal of Medicine ( NEJM ). The rule was adopted by most scientific journals and shaped the research landscape.
properties
The Ingelfinger Rule is designed to ensure that medical research reports should be peer-reviewed before being touted to the general public. Doctors are better able to evaluate medical innovations than lay people. Premature promotion of medical research results only adds to the confusion of the public. In addition, researchers should be prevented from artificially increasing their publication rate through multiple reprints in specialist journals. Online pre-publications and duplication in web archives (e.g. ArXiv ) break this rule for online publications.
