The act of republishing or reusing one's own previous work without proper acknowledgment or citation, sometimes considered an ethical violation in academia.
From Greek 'auto-' (self) and 'plagiarism' (copying others' work). This academic term emerged in late 20th-century scholarly discussions about research ethics.
