Journals' Guideline for Authors mention " that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere " as part of an ethical issue. What does that mean exactly? Does it include just submission?
It means that the article, in which you intend to publish in your choice of journal, isn't published in other journals before.
Getachew - it is considered unethical to submit a manuscript to more than one targeted journal at the same time. The term you identify refers to the jounral asking your assurance that you have not submitted the same manuscript elsewhere - while it is undder consideration with them. The pressure on scholars to publish, and long review wait times etc, may sometimes tempt authors to 'break this rule'.
It means that the article, in which you intend to publish in your choice of journal, isn't published in other journals before.
It means that you have not submitted the same article in another journal concurrently. Journals ask the authors to include this statement in the cover letter. It is considered unethical to submit the same manuscript to multiple journals at a time.
I totally support the "not under consideration for publication elsewhere" rule. I do believe it's unethical to submit the same article to more than one journal at the same time; breaking this rule is certainly bad practice even if one is under pressure; one can get busy writing or preparing for another article while waiting for the publisher's decision.
An ethical point that indicates you are not trying to find first come first serve option rather dedicate for a specific journal.
Once at a time.
"that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere" means that your paper is under the review process of only one journal where you intend to submit your work.
At the time of submission to any journal, we must ensure them that we only submit our work to them, not to others at the same time.
Getachew Gebreeyessus what is your opinion on this rule?

I think the time that submission, desk review and revision takes has to be considered and I suggest simultaneous submission has to be different from simultaneous "under review: Grzegorz Boczkaj
It means that your publication is not submitted in any other journal, magazine or proceedings apart from the journal you are considering for publication as publishing similar data at multiple forums is unethical and punishable offence. Hope this helps.
Yes if the full length paper is being considered for publication in proceedings.
This is the ethical consideration from the author's point of view. It means your article or manuscript is not submitted or in the review process or considered for review in any other journal at the time when you are going to submit a journal. You must choose one journal. However, you can submit another journal after getting a rejection letter from a journal.
