“…We would hope that reviewers and editors of our manuscript would give us credit for our methodological rigor. We also note that the manipulation of outcomes is prevalent (see, e.g., Gray et al 8 ; Gray, Mackay, Waters and Brown 9 ; Gray, Mackay, Waters, and Brown, 10 ) in nursing science and can and does distort the evidence base.…”

“…Most modern existing research discussing SS does so by making reference to a past prevalence of SS within the hard sciences (see also : Baldock et al 2021;Gray et al 2021;Gregory and Leeman 2021;Werner 2021). From the limited publications that refer to social science perspectives (Morse 2021; Siegel and Baveye 2010), most of these take a similarly structured stance to Speilmens et al by focussing on the decay to multi-publication legitimacy caused by SS.…”

Salami Slicing: clarifying common misconceptions for social science early-career researchers

The term Salami Slicing is used often within academia to refer to the needless separation of a single research study, attached dataset, and argument that should form a single publication, into two or several separate publications for submission in different journals. While the term is used with frequency, there exist few explicit guidelines that concretely explain firstly: what tangibly constitutes the unethical and damaging practice of Salami Slicing, and secondly: instances relating to social science research where multiple publications from a single body of data are not only acceptable, but necessary for furthering scholarly thought and developing important cross-disciplinary perspectives. These cases actively exist outside of and resist the Salami Slicing label. This paper represents a discussion of the above points from my perspective as a social science early career researcher (ECR) in the hope of clarifying the key misconceptions and ambiguities surrounding this common yet often elusive term. By doing this, I hope to minimise anxiety and panic for fellow ECRs, and help them avoid needlessly withdrawing carefully developed and time-intensive publications that could actively benefit and grow different disciplinary social science perspectives.
