Same Paper, New Conference: Is It Acceptable in Academia?
Hi everyone,
I’m currently preparing my research paper for presentation, and I wanted to get some clarity on an important academic question: Is it acceptable to present the same research paper at more than one conference? I've already presented my paper at a national-level academic event, but now I see an opportunity to share the same findings at an international conference with a broader audience.
I’m aware that journals usually require original content, but I’m not sure about the expectations or ethical guidelines when it comes to conferences. Do different academic fields have different rules for this? Would I need to disclose the previous presentation? Is there a risk of rejection or academic misconduct if I present the same work again?
I’d appreciate insights from researchers, students, and faculty members who have experience with this. Your advice will help me and many others understand how to navigate conference submissions the right way.

Hey everyone!
Just wanted to share a quick experience — I recently presented the same research paper at a second conference, and it was totally acceptable. The audience, the type of questions, and even the feedback were completely different from the first event. It gave me fresh insights and helped me improve my work further.
If you’re wondering whether it's okay — yes, in most cases, as long as it’s a different platform or region, it’s fine (just avoid duplicate journal submissions unless permitted).
