Feature Presentation: Dr. Cary Moskovitz

Dr. Cary Moskovitz, Director of the (funded by the National Science Foundation), Professor of the Practice in the Thompson Writing Program, Duke University.

Dr. Moskovitz will discuss the various ethical and legal complexities of text recycling in research writing and explain best practices for recycling material across a range of research contexts.

Researchers often need to repeat some content from their papers, especially when the same methodological approach, experimental apparatus or statistical analyses are used in related studies. Researchers may also have reason to repeat some background material, such as discussing prior research or theoretical frameworks.

Reusing material from ones previously published papers in a new paper is one kind of text recycling. Others include reusing material from a published article in ones dissertation, reworking a conference paper into a journal article and translating ones work into a different language. Some kinds of recycling are widely considered appropriate and even standard practice. Others, especially manipulating text to disguise a previously published paper and submitting it as a new work, are universally condemned and may lead to disciplinary action.

Given the wide variety of ways that researchers might recycle text, they are often unsure about what is and isnt ethical or legal.
