If the papers are published before writing thesis, and in that case if the material from papers are copied into thesis are considered as self plagiarism?
Regards
It is a wrong concept to hide the previous related publications, better those should be cited. I am acting as Associate Editor of one journal. We generally give preference to the Review article writers with a good number of previous publications on the subject of review article.
The reverse of the present subject of discussion are sometimes seen. Author cite his/ her previous articles though those are having no relation with the submitted article.
In many Universities, publication of 2-3 articles from the research works is among minimum requirements of submission of Ph D thesis. So in such cases how the question of plagiarism arise?
This concept of self plagiarism is not consistently defined or not possible to define!!
As far as possible try to avoid it by honestly/properly citing every thing you borrow from another paper(including your own).
