Is it possible/acceptable to publish the same article in 2 journals, if one is un-categorized?
It will most likely depend on the status of the &quot;student journal&quot;. We had a &quot;student journal&quot; which was, officially, an archive of master theses in our program. As such, it is comparable to an archive of proceedings of a conference and does not prohibit submission to internationally recognized journals (or elsewhere) [in our field, &quot;conference papers&quot; do not exist - there are posters, but work presented on posters is usually later published in a journal paper without any issues].
Many of the papers published in this student journal ended up in high-ranked international journals without problems.
