Self-plagiarism is not easily defined, but should be avoided

Plagiarism is defined as “to steal and pass off the ideas or words of another as one\u27s own, that is, use another\u27s production without crediting the source” (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/plagiarize). Plagiarism is considered as academic fraud, and after appropriate consideration can result in retraction of articles, or failing of students who plagiarize during their academic training
