Self-plagiarism
iParadigms, een van de wereldspelers op het gebied van plagiaatdetectie software, presenteert de studie "The ethics of self-plagiarism" (hier te downloaden).
Self-plagiarism wordt gedefinieerd als "a type of plagiarism in which the writer republishes a work in its entirety or reuses portions of a previously written text while authoring a new work".
"Writers often maintain that because they are the authors, they can use the work again as they wish; they can't really plagiarize themselves because they are not taking any words or ideas from someone else. But while the discussion continues on whether self-plagiarism is possible, the ethical issue of self-plagiarism is significant, especially because self-plagiarism can infringe upon a publisher's copyright. Traditional definitions of plagiarism do not account for self-plagiarism, so writers may be unaware of the ethics and laws involved in reusing or repurposing texts."
