Today's Turnitin blog post addresses the complex and sometimes confusing issue of self-plagiarism or "duplicate plagiarism" as it is also known. The article considers the impact of this topic on both student work and also on research publications.

Whilst self-plagiarism by students is often unintentional do institutions explicitly define self plagiarism in their student-facing guidance and also take the time to discuss what is and is not acceptable in terms of reuse of work as part of their assessed work? As always, we'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
