Self-plagiarism is the redundant reuse of your own work, “use another’s production without crediting the sources,” or “present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source.” The JOHS also considers “self-plagiarism” as a form of plagiarism. An example of self-plagiarism would be when an author borrows from his or her own previously published work without the proper citation within the newly submitted manuscript.
