Abstract  From the professional perspective of journal publishing, whether a bilingual (multilingual) publication is suspicious from an ethical point of view has been a topic of debate. Indeed this problem has been long puzzling authors who are preparing for submission. Although the worldwide publishing industry has had some discussions about it, so far in China no normative text or guide is available for authors and journal editors as reference. In fact, it is not easy to sum up the rights and wrongs of duplicate publication and bilingual (multilingual) publication. From a professional perspective, a few highlights for discussion on the criteria for bilingual (multilingual) publication and substantial duplicate publication are proposed and could be a reference for authors and editors.
