Original words taken directly from a publication by another researcher should appear in quotation marks with the appropriate citation.
Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publications: Authors generally may not submit the same manuscript to more than one journal at the same time. It is also hoped that the author does not publish redundant manuscripts or manuscripts describing the same research in more than one journal. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal at the same time is unethical and unacceptable publishing behavior.

In cases where the main contributors are listed as provisional authors those who made a less substantial, or purely technical, contribution to the research or publication are listed in the acknowledgment section.
