An \(R\)-module \(M\) is a multiplication module if for each submodule \(N\) of \(M\) there exists an ideal \(I\) of \(R\) such that \(N=IM\). The author first proves that if a multiplication module \(M\) is a direct sum of uniform submodules, then so is every direct summand of \(M\). The result has applications to the following problem raised by Matlis in 1958: if \(N\) is a direct summand of a direct sum \(M\) of indecomposable injectives, then is \(N\) itself a direct sum of indecomposable injectives? The author shows that the answer is affirmative when \(M\) is a multiplication module, and a further result is given for the case when \(M\) is a countable direct sum of indecomposable injectives.
