Question

what do you understand by self plagiarism

Answer 1

Self plagiarism is using your own work in a different context without citing that it was used previously. A major example of such an act might be someone who writes a magazine article that is published.

Answer 2

Answer:

1. Plagiarism generally involves using other people’s words or ideas without proper citation, but you can also plagiarize yourself.

• Self-plagiarism means reusing work that you have already published or submitted for a class. It can involve re-submitting an entire paper, copying or paraphrasing passages from your previous work, or recycling old data.

• Self-plagiarism misleads your readers by presenting old work as completely new and original. If you want to include any text, ideas, or data that already appeared in a previous paper, you should always inform the reader of this by citing your own work.

2. For example

• Handing in a paper you’ve already submitted in another class.
• Pasting sections or paragraphs from previously submitted work into a new paper.
• Reusing data or ideas from your bachelor’s thesis and building on them in your master’s thesis without citing the original work.
