Text Recycling in STEM Research: An Exploratory Investigation of Expert and Novice Beliefs and Attitudes

Abstract: When writing journal articles, science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) researchers produce a number of other genres such as grant proposals and conference posters, and their new articles routinely build directly on their own prior work. As a result, STEM authors often reuse material from their completed documents in producing new documents. While this practice, known as text recycling (or self-plagiarism), is a debated issue in publishing and research ethics, little is known about researchers’ … Show more

“…Registering a study in greater detail also speeds the writing of manuscripts from that study. The information from registrations can be repurposed ethically into manuscripts through developmental recycling (Moskovitz, 2021), particularly in method sections (Moskovitz & Hall, 2021), as the purposes of the registration and publication are distinct but require textual repetition to ensure fidelity to the meaning of the registration (Pieper et al, 2021). Researchers may be concerned that excessive disclosure will lead to their ideas being appropriated by other teams.…”

“…Not only is self-plagiarism not considered to be misconduct (including under U.S. federal law), but attitudes and beliefs about limited text recycling (as it is now known, because plagiarism is a pejorative term) have changed, thanks in large part to the excellent work of Cary Moskovitz and the Text Recycling Research Project. [42][43][44] In some circumstances, for example the above consideration of laboratory and clinical protocols, limited text recycling may be appropriate or even preferable. Anesthesiology now provides guidance to authors on how and when to use limited text recycling, specifically limited to describing research methods.…”
