The manuscript was submitted to IJMCM on 11&nbsp;August 2021 and accepted on 7 December 2021.&nbsp;The author was asked on 29 December 2021 through the process of proof finalization whether he performed a duplicate publication&nbsp;to&nbsp;Annals&nbsp;of Urologic Oncology&nbsp;which published a similar article&nbsp;&nbsp;2021,&nbsp;4(1): 31-41.&nbsp;<span dir="RTL" style="line-height:27.6px"><span style="background-image:initial"><span style="background-position:initial"><span style="background-size:initial"><span style="background-repeat:initial"><span style="background-origin:initial"><span style="background-clip:initial"><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://doi.org/10.32948/auo.2021.10.20&source=gmail&ust=1654168873886000&usg=AOvVaw1vVxnaTadu16yGIFAYr17P" href="https://doi.org/10.32948/auo.2021.10.20" rel="nofollow" style="color:#1155cc" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.<wbr />32948/auo.2021.10.20</a></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>&nbsp;(<wbr />submitted 31&nbsp;Aug&nbsp;2021; accepted 7 Oct 2021; published online: 15 Oct 2021),&nbsp;or any unauthorized publication underwent with that journal. According to authors&#39; explanations, it appeared that he deliberately made a duplicate submission which&nbsp;is<span style="text-decoration-style:initial"><span style="text-decoration-color:initial">&nbsp;unethical and a case of self-plagiarism that causes&nbsp;a waste of editorial and reviewers time and resources, and avoids other authors to publish their manuscript by unfairly taking up limited journal space.</span></span>&nbsp;The author still claims that this duplicate submission was unintended and an unexpected accident. The Editor in chief apologizes to the readership for this unfortunate incident and any inconvenience caused.</span></div> <div></div> 248 248 http://ijmcmed.org/browse.php?a_code=A-10-4330-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Manh Tien Tran trantienmanh1508@gmail.com 100319475328460023507 100319475328460023507 Yes Department of Dental Pharmacology, Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University, Okayama, Japan.
