If the applicant submits evidence for an accreditation review that their representative work has been accepted for publication within a definite period by a domestic or foreign scholarly journal or professional journal as referred to in Subparagraph 2 of Paragraph 2 of Article 21, the representative work shall be published within one year from the date that the journal issued its letter of acceptance or similar notification, and the applicant shall submit a copy of the academic work to the institution for checking and filing within two months after the work is published. If for some reason（s）not attributable to the applicant the work is not able to be published within that one year, the maximum possible extension period is three years from the date that the journal issued its original letter of acceptance or similar notification.The Ministry shall check with the institution to see if the previous applicant has been published within the period of time for which the publication has issued a letter of acceptance.Any qualified academic writing referred to in the provisions of the Paragraph 1 that has been submitted for an accreditation review is not permitted to be resubmitted for the subsequent accreditation review.The institution shall reject the application and report the matter to the Ministry for failure to publish, or failure to publish within three years of the date of the publication’s letter of acceptance, for reasons attributable to the failure of the submitter. If the teacher’s eligibility is still being reviewed by the Ministry, the Ministry shall reject the application.
