duplicated literature review section of an article

M

When writing an article is it fine to use the same contains of a literature review for two different papers? The themes of the paper are related although the questions addressed are different. Actually the reviewer for the targeted journal suggested that I split the article into two . If both are accepted for publication, what are the implications in terms of copy right with regards to the publishers.

Hi Mamara,
You would have to ensure that the two reviews were different, otherwise you are self-plagiarising.
