Text recycling, often called "self-plagiarism", is the practice of reusing textual material from one's prior documents in a new work. The practice presents a complex set of ethical and practical challenges to the scientific community, many of which have not been addressed in prior discourse on the subject. This essay identifies and discusses these factors in a systematic fashion, concluding with a new definition of text recycling that takes these factors into account. Topics include terminology, what is not text recycling, factors affecting judgements about the appropriateness of text recycling, and visual materials.
文本复用，通常称为“自我剽窃”，是指在新作品中重复使用自己先前文档中的文本材料。这一做法给科学界带来了一系列复杂的伦理和实际挑战，其中许多问题在前人对这一主题的论述中并未得到解决。本文以系统的方式确定并讨论了这些因素，最后提出了一个新的文本复用定义，该定义考虑了这些因素。讨论的主题包括术语、不是文本复用的情况、影响对文本复用适当性判断的因素，以及视觉材料。
