Discussion on duplicate publication

A section on duplicate publication by Simion has been removed twice.

84.68.240.3 stated the following: "Contentious material about living persons that is poorly sourced. There are several problems with this paragraph: (1) any such material needs to come with two admissible references; however, pub peer is not an admissible reference source, since any internet user can freely edit (2) the allegation is in conflict with the UK Research Integrity Policy in that the two papers are cross-cited (3) Springer (Philosophical Studies) have denied the allegation"

However:

The primary source is an official statement by an academic journal, Analysis. Their statement is a reliable source with a stable URL (DOI).
PubPeer is a post-publication peer review website, where the extent of the overlap has been documented. The claim posted there can easily be verified by comparing the articles.
There are no public sources that support the claim that Springer confirms or denies the case of duplicate publication, but Simion is an associate editor at Philosophical Studies, which is a clear conflict of interest.
Cross-citation means that this is not a case of plagiarism, which is not what the section claims either. The section links to duplicate publication, defined as "publishing the same intellectual material more than once". The linked Wikipedia article also explains why this is commonly seen as problematic.
Whether the UK Research Integrity Policy allows this seems beside the point as well: the public fact is that an official "Statement of Redundant Publication" was issued by one of the journals.

If anything, the section on duplicate publication is better sourced than other claims in the article. While the other parts are about positive achievements, it is not contentious that an official statement was published, and it seems exceptional enough to warrant mention.

You need a reliable secondary source to justify inclusion here. Come back when you have got one: until then the material can and should be removed. Jonathan A Jones (talk) 09:56, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. The statement can be read in full in another academic repository: [1]. This repository also provides a stable link, but then it's up to the user to click on the PDF and to go to page 10 [2]. Is that sufficient, and if so which link is to be preferred? SocialEpisteme (talk) 11:00, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's a primary source. You need a reliable secondary source. Jonathan A Jones (talk) 12:20, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This has now been discussed at both BLP/N and RS/N. There is a clear consensus on both pages that these sources are inadequate for a BLP and that this material should stay off the page until there is better sourcing. See in particular this comment [3]. Jonathan A Jones (talk) 16:02, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
