Statement of Redundant Publication

Abstract

For ‘Factors Associated With Specific Language Impairment and Later Language Development During Early Life: A Literature Review’ by Benjamas Prathanee, MA, Bandit Thinkhamrop, PhD, Sumalee Dechongkit, PhD; Clinical Pediatrics; Volume 46 Number 1, January 2007; 22-29; © 2007; SAGE Publications; 10.1177/0009922806297153

This statement has been added based on determining significant overlap with the following article, published earlier, with an authorship including one of the co-authors, Bandit Thinkhamrop:

‘Risk Factors Associated with Language Development Problems in Childhood - A Literature Review’ by Bhunyabhadh Chaimay, MPH, Bandit Thinkhamrop PhD, and Jadsada Thinkhamrop; Journal of the Medical Association of Thailand; Volume 89, Number 7; 1080-86; 2006

The similarities between the two papers include referencing data from the same 15 studies, paper structure, and the overall conclusions. Additionally, the Clinical Pediatrics article did not include reference to the Journal of the Medical Association of Thailand paper. Author Bandit Thinkhamrop responded that the authors of the two papers worked collaboratively on the covered topic as part of their coursework.
