Self-plagiarism
Plagiarism is the intentional taking of another person's work, and claiming it as one's own. This practice has been observed not only among students at every level, but also among academics, administrators and professional researchers publishing in peer reviewed journals. According to Hexam, 2005), "The practice of plagiarism is a form of academic high treason because it undermines the entire scholarly enterprise". The question raised is whether a researcher can plagiarize from their own body of work.
