I have a few articles that i want to submit to other ezines and article submits ? If I put the same articles (written by myself)on my own site and at the same time distribut it to other sites as well - then can it have any negative effect - such as duplicate content or something else.. Just want the experts blessings before I do that 
thanks in advance.

The other sites will have different HTML code and different site navigtion, so they are not exact duplicates. Most search engines would list at least several copies of the same article before starting to try to filter the remainder out.
"Duplicate content" mostly refers to where the page content is identical, because the site owner serves it at both www and non-www, or has several domains, or has a poor site design with multiple dynamic URLs that lead to the exact same content, and has no redirects, and has no "noindex" tags to control the bots.

... yes, up to a point.
No-one is in complete agreement as to where that "point" is, though.

But even if it gets classified as duplicate after a certain stage it would not hurt me and I would still get credit for the initial links from other sites ? (this is considering I also have a copy of all those articles on my site too since It is written by me). This is all organic work... isn't it..?

Frank, Sean again...
Sometimes when I post to just one article directory, I may get over 100 links from that one article---so there is plenty of duplication out there anyway.
When you post the article to your own site, add an extra sentence for introduction.

The first one to get crawled is the original. All others are considered to be duplicates. So, publish it on your own site first and get it crawled--then publish it other places.

Sean and bhartzer - thanks for the great tips. I have some questions for both of you if it's ok...
Sean: what you mean by posting an extra line as intro ? you mean author bio ? Also is there any hyperlink involved in that extra line ?
bhartzer: how long does it take to crawl. My site is quite established with pr 4.
Thanks again!
