Héctor Brzostowski Dear Cureus Editorial Team,
I acknowledge receipt of your email and understand the seriousness of my account's permanent suspension.
However, I would like to appeal for a reconsideration of this decision and clarify what I believe is a misunderstanding. The papers I submitted were not duplicate articles. While they did focus on a similar product, each was a distinct study with new data and analysis, designed to explore different aspects or to deepen the understanding of a particular effect.
I am frustrated because your policies on what constitutes a "duplicate" are not transparent or public. Had they been, I would have taken more care to ensure my submissions adhered to your guidelines.
Since each of my manuscripts is original, I kindly request that you provide me with the specific details of the articles you consider duplicates. This would allow me to better understand your perspective and refute this accusation.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Dr. Brzostowski
