  • 1.  Opinions on using the same dataset in different publications?

    Posted 06-06-2016 05:26
    It would be interesting to start a dialogue on this Listserv, about the re-use of data following the retraction published in Personnel Psychology (pasted below).
    Any opinions or thoughts on when it is ok to use the same dataset with different publications (i.e "slicing and dicing"), and when it is not?

    Is this a(nother) symptom of academia's imperfect performance metric system, putting too much pressure on "productivity" targets?

    Looking forward to hearing your viewpoints!


    Retraction Statement: The Indirect Relationship Between Learning Climate and Employees' Creativity and Adaptivity: The Role of Employee Engagement 

    The above article from Personnel Psychology, published online on January 27, 2016 in Wiley Online Library (http://wileyonlinelibrary.com) has been retracted by agreement of the Editor, Bradford S. Bell, and Wiley Periodicals, Inc. The retraction has been agreed following an investigation into claims that the article is redundant with an article the authors published in Journal of Organizational Behavior (Volume 37, pp. 213–235) entitled "A process model of employee engagement: The learning climate and its relationship with extra-role performance behaviors." The investigation revealed that the same dataset is used in both articles and that all but one of the hypotheses tested in the Personnel Psychology article is also included in the Journal of Organizational Behavior article. Since Personnel Psychology received the copyright agreement second, it was determined that it should be the one to retract the article. It is important to note that the reuse of the data was never acknowledged during the review process at Personnel Psychology, despite the fact that all authors are asked each time they submit to the journal to indicate whether any of the data reported in their study has been used in another manuscript.

    Hi Amanda, 

    Thank you for starting a dialogue on this very topical and timely issue. AOM Editors made a very interesting video called "slicing the data in publications" some years ago. Marshall Schminke referred to this in the video has "slicing the salami: how thinly can you slice the salami and still be legitimate?" Please find the link below:


    I believe everyone in management research should actually see this video and other related videos on "The Ethics of Research and Publishing". The videos should answer questions you might have in mind on these issues. Journals also have also their own viewpoints, guidelines and policies regarding this as well (so I would say its better to take a look at each journal you are submitting to, prior to submission). 

    Of course, it would also be helpful for other scholars to share their own viewpoints on this.


    Best wishes,

    Mayowa, 

    This is an excellent video! I was just wrestling with this topic. I have a large dataset (number of variables) related to innovation and firm performance that I collected with a test/retest of the same set of respondents. Given what I listened to, I have a much clearer picture how to articulate different theories and non-overlapping IV/DV relationships to create two very different papers. 
    Eureka! 


    Thanks!

    This discussion is off to an interesting start!
    Thank you so much to Gilad and Mayowa who have already taken time out of their busy lives to contribute!
    The video Mayowa recommended is short and to the point - a great resource!

    JAP's policy of data transparency through the provision of a data transparency appendix (that Gilad shared) makes a lot of sense, so why aren't all journals doing this?

    Amanda,

     

    Section 1.09 (pp. 13-15) in the APA Publication Manual (6th Edition) addresses the issues of multiple uses of data and data transparency.

     

    To your questions, it can certainly be acceptable to have multiple uses of data, so long as each unique "use" advances knowledge in some unique and meaningful ways.  Given there is often some level of subjectivity in the extent to which multiple uses make multiple unique contributions, transparency at time of submission is important.

     

    At JAP, we have implemented a set of practices to reinforce APA's policies; see: http://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/apl/?tab=4 and http://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/apl/data-transparency-appendix-example.aspx

     

    Hope this helps,

    Gilad

    Hello,

    There is an excellent paper by Brad Kirkman and Gilad Chen on this topic. Below is the citation and abstract. Hope you can find it in your library, or email Gilad or Brad for a copy. Thanks. Anne Tsui

    Maximizing Your Data or Data Slicing? Recommendations for Managing Multiple Submissions from the Same Dataset
    Bradley L. Kirkmana1 and Gilad Chena2
    Management and Organization Review, 2011, 7(3): 433-446.

    a1 Texas A & M, USA
    a2 University of Maryland, USA

    Abstract
    Researchers who are fortunate enough to collect large datasets sometimes wish to publish multiple papers using the same dataset. Unfortunately, there are few guidelines that authors can follow in managing these multiple papers. In this article, we address three main questions including: (i) how do authors know if they have a dataset truly worthy of multiple papers; (ii) what procedures do authors follow when they are ready to submit multiple papers from a single dataset to top tier journals; and (iii) what are the main issues when attempting to publish multiple papers from a single dataset? We provide a set of concrete recommendations for authors who wish to maximize their data collection efforts with multiple papers.

    Although what is acceptable vs not acceptable can, at times, be hard to discern (even though the resources below are pretty ideal),  I know I speak for my editor colleagues when I say, just be fully transparent upon submission.  Be honest and open in how the data have and are being used.  The more transparency the better.

    Amanda,

    Section 1.09 (pp. 13-15) in the APA Publication Manual (6th Edition) addresses the issues of multiple uses of data and data transparency.

    To your questions, it can certainly be acceptable to have multiple uses of data, so long as each unique "use" advances knowledge in some unique and meaningful ways.  Given there is often some level of subjectivity in the extent to which multiple uses make multiple unique contributions, transparency at time of submission is important.

    At JAP, we have implemented a set of practices to reinforce APA's policies; see: http://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/apl/?tab=4 and http://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/apl/data-transparency-appendix-example.aspx

    Hope this helps,
    Gilad

    Subject: [OB-LIST] Opinions on using the same dataset in different publications?

    It would be interesting to start a dialogue on this Listserv, about the re-use of data following the retraction published in Personnel Psychology (pasted below).
    Any opinions or thoughts on when it is ok to use the same dataset with different publications (i.e "slicing and dicing"), and when it is not?

    Is this a(nother) symptom of academia's imperfect performance metric system, putting too much pressure on "productivity" targets?

    Looking forward to hearing your viewpoints!


    Retraction Statement: The Indirect Relationship Between Learning Climate and Employees' Creativity and Adaptivity: The Role of Employee Engagement

    The above article from Personnel Psychology, published online on January 27, 2016 in Wiley Online Library (http://wileyonlinelibrary.com) has been retracted by agreement of the Editor, Bradford S. Bell, and Wiley Periodicals, Inc. The retraction has been agreed following an investigation into claims that the article is redundant with an article the authors published in Journal of Organizational Behavior (Volume 37, pp. 213–235) entitled "A process model of employee engagement: The learning climate and its relationship with extra-role performance behaviors." The investigation revealed that the same dataset is used in both articles and that all but one of the hypotheses tested in the Personnel Psychology article is also included in the Journal of Organizational Behavior article. Since Personnel Psychology received the copyright agreement second, it was determined that it should be the one to retract the article. It is important to note that the reuse of the data was never acknowledged during the review process at Personnel Psychology, despite the fact that all authors are asked each time they submit to the journal to indicate whether any of the data reported in their study has been used in another manuscript.

  • 9.  Opinions on using the same dataset in different publications?

    Posted 06-07-2016 13:37

    I fully support disclosure.

    But, research evidence exists that disclosure (of conflicts of interest, for example) makes people feel more license to behave in their self-interest (because, hey, they disclosed!)

    So, disclosure may not be the total answer.

    Although what is acceptable vs not acceptable can, at times, be hard to discern (even though the resources below are pretty ideal),  I know I speak for my editor colleagues when I say, just be fully transparent upon submission.  Be honest and open in how the data have and are being used.  The more transparency the better.

    Hello,

    There is an excellent paper by Brad Kirkman and Gilad Chen on this topic. Below is the citation and abstract. Hope you can find it in your library, or email Gilad or Brad for a copy.  Thanks. Anne Tsui

    Maximizing Your Data or Data Slicing? Recommendations for Managing Multiple Submissions from the Same Dataset
    Bradley L. Kirkmana1 and Gilad Chena2
    Management and Organization Review, 2011, 7(3): 433-446.

    Abstract
    Researchers who are fortunate enough to collect large datasets sometimes wish to publish multiple papers using the same dataset. Unfortunately, there are few guidelines that authors can follow in managing these multiple papers. In this article, we address three main questions including: (i) how do authors know if they have a dataset truly worthy of multiple papers; (ii) what procedures do authors follow when they are ready to submit multiple papers from a single dataset to top tier journals; and (iii) what are the main issues when attempting to publish multiple papers from a single dataset? We provide a set of concrete recommendations for authors who wish to maximize their data collection efforts with multiple papers.
