Can I use my published paper in my thesis?

Answer: It is perfectly acceptable to use one of your previously published papers as your thesis chapter. This is known as a cumulative thesis. However, to avoid copyright issues, you should take permission from the journal where your paper was published.

Can you plagiarize from yourself?

Plagiarism generally involves using other people’s words or ideas without proper citation, but you can also plagiarize yourself. Self-plagiarism means reusing work that you have already published or submitted for a class. Self-plagiarism misleads your readers by presenting old work as completely new and original.
