Statement on Multiple Submissions and Originality

For research that is submitted to the portal, RMPA encourages original work that has not been previously disseminated. However, if a project has been disseminated, in part or in its entirety, at another conference, the candidate should disclose this matter in the submission portal. 

It is acceptable to present new analyses of existing data sets that were formerly presented. This could include re-analysis of quantitative or qualitative data, presentation of data derived from new trials (including cross-trial comparisons), or subsequent analyses following sample size enlargement. In addition, an open science framework supports the re-analysis of datasets that were formerly presented in published form, especially when the inquiry is conducted by independent researchers wishing to corroborate prior investigations. When datasets have been formerly presented, this should be disclosed in order to avoid the potential of spuriously enlarging the perception of a finding’s replication frequency.  It is encouraged that new literature reviews and discussion sections be created in cases of dataset reanalysis. 

Keynote speakers will often present findings from studies that were formerly published, as part of their discussion of a program of research.
