    Not quite what I was taught. It is possible to self-plagiarise, plagiarism only needs to be reproduction of a work with the claim it is your own original work.

    I still think that’s a ploy by journal publishers to prevent losing their exclusive extortion abilities, but that doesn’t really make much difference to the end result.

      Self-plagiarism to me is more of a related but separately defined term from “true plagiarism,” but defining it based on work rather than author does make a lot of sense.
