How To Quote Yourself In A Research Paper by Gordon State College
means taking an entire work written by someone else and passing it off as your own. This can mean getting someone else to write an essay or assignment for you, or submitting a text you found online as your own work.
Thanks Pat for sharing your ideas on self-citation. As usual, interesting and useful. I was wondering how this may be applicable to other publication situations. For example, I’ve seen edited volumes or monographs including formerly published articles by the author with indeed a footnote that this chapter was previously published as a journal article in blah blah …
The other situation (I came across yesterday), was an edited volume by the same editors but published by two different publishers. The second (more recent copy) includes exactly the same chapters published just 2-3 years ago in another volume by another publisher and indeed with some new chapters added.
I’v always thought that once a piece of research or writing gets published whether as a journal article or a book chapter, it’s senseless and perhaps inappropriate to “duplicate” them in another outlet.
What do you think here?
Thanks, Mehdi

At my former institution they too granted access to iThenticate and expected staff to check their papers (and if not, someone was going to check it for them). My current institution has iThenticate for checking theses and HDR candidates’ work (as opposed to Turnitin for coursework students). There has been no expectation of staff checking papers though (not yet).

Sometimes people don’t bother with this rule. I’ve recently read a book where a very famous scholar used a definitional statement – extensively quoted by other people – which originally appeared in one of his refereed journal articles. It was such a well-known sentence that it leapt off the page at me. However, the writer didn’t self-cite. And I don’t blame him for this minor technical infringement. I can imagine him thinking that the wording was actually hard to better so why try to do so…
