Discussion
A researcher uses data of an earlier research paper and publishes a new research paper, this is .................... .
Answer: B
Publishing a new paper from the data of an earlier paper is unethical.
Reusing data already published, whether one's own or another researcher's, and presenting the result as new research is a form of plagiarism or duplicate (redundant) publication. It misleads readers and journals about the originality of the work and can double-count the same findings in the literature.
So it cannot be called ethical, permissible or proper. Earlier data may legitimately be cited and discussed, with full acknowledgement, but the question describes publishing it as a new research paper.
