I'm somewhat doubtful this exists in any significant/helpful way, but is anyone aware of articles/resources that provide guidance on ethical decision-making when it comes to breaking down a project into multiple publications? It seems a very study-specific nuanced issue, so the few resources I've found have been extraordinarily general and thus not particularly helpful. I'm really struggling to figure out how to divide up my dissertation without going the route of piecemeal publication...compounded by the fact that I'll likely be submitting at least some of it to mid-high tier neuroscience journals which tend to have tight page limits.
I have multiple semi-related behavioral tasks (one of which is very complicated and allows for extraction of 10-20 separate DVs on its own), event-related neural data for all of them, resting state neural data, 30+ moderators, 15 indices to compare convergent validity with and the association of the DVs is also of interest. I'm in the (extremely) fortunate position of having had many things come out relatively well, so my kitchen sink approach came back to bite me and now I need to figure out the best way to get all of this out into the literature in a digestible way without ignoring good research ethics (not to mention a genuine desire to make sure people understand). Obviously consulting with a multitude of others familiar with the specifics of the study, but thought I'd see if anyone is aware of anything written on the topic.
