I have sent a manuscript to an IEEE journal for publication. My master thesis topic and results should be the same with this paper. I will extend thesis chapters, text, figures, … etc. and make it formatted properly as thesis of course. I am the main author of this paper with two more co-authors, I don't find it reasonable to keep citing this paper repeatedly (as a working paper for now) for example, in introduction, proposed method, and ... other sections of the thesis.
Can I use the same "text" of the paper in the thesis, should I rephrase it? What about using same figures and tables?
I found a similar question here: https://www.researchgate.net/post/Is_self_citation_in_thesis_possible
with this answer by: Stephen Chen:
"It depends. If the student wrote a paper as part of their Master's thesis and then built upon that as part of a PhD thesis, then that's a clear citation. If the paper is specifically a part of the thesis, then the paper is not so much being cited as it is being reproduced. In which case, a footnote or other indication that material in a certain section has been published in a certain reference seems more appropriate than a citation."
I think in my case it should be reproducing the manuscript as thesis. However, not for a single chapter, but approximately for all chapters.
You could also cite your paper as forthcoming (Journal and date) if you have been informed when it will be published. Forthcoming sounds more authoritative
As mentioned by Metin, you can refer to it as unpublished (or submitted) paper. Many systems also allow the references that are based on "personal communication". Kindly check with your guide for more details.
