Self plagiarism
Is it possible?
Self plagiarism, also known as recycling fraud, is the reuse of significant or identical parts of your own work without saying so and without citing the original work. This can be illegal if copyrighted work has been transferred to another entity.
Typically, self plagiarism is a serious issue in academic publishing or educational assignments. It doesn't apply to public-interest texts like social or professional opinions published in newspapers and magazines.
Identifying self-plagiarism is difficult because limited reuse of material is legally accepted as fair use and ethically accepted. In order to disseminate work to the widest possible audience university researchers commonly rephrase and republish their own work, but obey limits: if half the article is the same it will usually be rejected.
One of the functions of peer review in academic writing is to prevent this type of recycling.
