I am forwarding below a response from Phil Davis at his request
regarding the dual publication query.
Chuck Hamaker

Before developing an opinion on this matter, there are several
unanswered
questions: (1) Does the second article include a clear statement of
republication?  Haworth Press routinely republishes articles in its
monographs but are clear to state that these articles were originally
published elsewhere.  Emerald didn't do this and it was a chief reason
for
considering their act as being unethical.

(2) Was it an isolated incident, of is there evidence that Sage is doing

this systematically (like Emerald). It may be worthwhile for you to
search
the two journals involved and see whether there is any evidence of
routine
duplication between these two titles.  Legally, once an author signs
over
copyright, the publisher owns the content.  That doesn't make
republication
an ethical act, and if you piss off an author, you may be sacrificing
future submissions.

(3) But most importantly, it would be worthwhile to see what Sage has to

say on this matter and if/how they are going to deal with the situation.

Publishing is a public act, so you should not feel nervous about making
public details about what you have found and for asking Sage to make a
public comment.
