I did key informant interview for a research earlier. I published a paper using in-depth interview / key informant data. I used comments from the interviewees in my earlier papers.
Now I am planning to publish a mixed method paper combining interview data with questionnaire data. If I use those comments from my earlier paper in the mixed method paper will it be considered plagiarism?
Thank you
I would not consider it to be plagiarism, but I would consider it to be a good choice, either. In particular, anyone who reads both papers will consider them to add up to less work than writing two full papers. This would be especially so for job and tenure review committees.
Yes, you can, but you will have to bring it in as secondary data from the earlier paper, and it must be cited/referenced as how you would do so for any other author.
Sachin Suknunan Could you give an example of an article that used the format you describe. I personally have never seen anything like that.
