Copying and pasting from own paper in a PhD thesis is acceptable or not?
If your paper is from that thesis, then acceptable.
I dont see that as plagiarism so far as the source aknowledged besides you are expected to publish from your PhD thesis.
Shekar - it depends on context. Your PhD thesis is (one assumes) your own work and you can't plagiarise your own work. However, it could be viewed as poor practice to directly cut-and-paste large sections from your thesis. Best to use a plagiarism software to check the matching report - and paraphrase where there is multiple direct copy.
It is not considered a plagiarism. However as Dr. Dean Whitehead said, it is a poor practice for research.
PhD thesis draft should have less than 19% plagiarism for graduation, if you publish article from your thesis, then you need to check your thesis plagiarism and decrease it again.
It is called self plagiarism and is poor practice for researchers.
Sorry , I had to delete my previous comment due to a spelling error.Yes, it is a form of plagiarism.You must observe citation rules even when quoting from your own work.
Plagiarism in any form, even self-plagiarism, is looked down upon all over the world. Instead of exactly copying your work, you need to re-write using different wordings keeping the meaning same if you want to.
