It is common practice for researchers to publish more than one manuscript regarding a certain experiment or cohesive set of experiments. Examples are large-scale grant-funded programs, theses, and dissertations. Some opine that it is unethical to publish more than one manuscript derived from the same data set, saying that this practice encourages publishing "least publishable units" just to enhance one's publication record. Others acknowledge that it makes sense to publish multiple manuscripts if they address distinct hypotheses that are not easily combined in one manuscript because they differ in focus and purpose. Do you know of citations of published work regarding this topic? If so, I would really appreciate your sharing them. Thanks!
The concept may vary considerably from the subject to subject. In sciences it may be unethical, while as in humanities and social sciences it may sound ethical. most of the research in social and humanistic sciences are replicated all across the world, by that logic then those studies may too sound unethical. The sought against a particular problem in a particular socio environment by no means will be applicable to the problems encountered by the people in a different environment, hence justifies the need to study each smaller universe individually. Besides, world is reeling under the pressure of big data, this big data again warrants for data slicing concerning to different aspects, areas, regions, etc. hence warrants to be reproduced to address varied concerns................
Thanks so much for replies thus far! I am seeking is actual published literature about this topic. Would any colleagues have citations to share?
Here is one that I found today, thanks to a previous related question on ResearchGate:
