Putting an equation or some text from your paper into a new paper is not self-plagiarism unless you do not reference it. Treat your own ideas like you would treat anybody else's ideas. Reference yourself (and indirectly advertise your work!).

In general, you should not copy, paste and cite material from your popular publications (grey literature), as the reference is not to a scientific paper, and this action will lower the tone of your current paper.

Furthermore, you should NEVER try to use a popular publication of yours to whitewash an idea to pretend it is your own. For example, you lecture on microgrid loads but don't put your references into your powerpoint. You use your slides to prepare a conference paper which you present but it does not get published and nobody notices you left out your original sources about the microgrid loads. Now, you cannot self-quote, because the original ideas on microgrids are not yours.

Dear Colleague,

Please just clarify your question in more details, What do you mean by "communication article"?

Or, Is this communication article a published paper?

Anyway, you can not copy any text, paragraph, explanation, statements to add it to another paper, regardless who was the author(s) including yourself.

Regards,

Emad
