Gross vs. Seligman (decided in 194) seems to be the only case in U.S. copyright history in which the owner of a copyright won an infringement lawsuit against a self-plagiarist.
The purpose of this research study was to evaluate faculty perceptions regarding student self-plagiarism or recycling of student papers. Although there is a plethora of information on plagiarism and faculty who self-plagiarize in publications, there is very little research on how faculty members perceive students re-using all or part of a previously completed assignment in a second assignment.[…] Although faculty agreed students need to be educated on self-plagiarism, faculty assumed students had previously been educated on plagiarism as well as self-plagiarism; only 13 % ensured students understood this concept.
Based on the guidelines from the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), self-plagiarism has been classified into four categories: (1) Text recycling: Text recycling refers to cloning of larger sections of one’s previously published text in a subsequent paper; (2) Redundant publication: This occurs when covert duplicate publication of one’s own work appears in two or more journals with the same data, results, and discussion, with or without editing; (3) Augmented publication: This is a new paper resulting from the addition of new data to previously published data; and (4) Segmented publication: Segmented publication, known also as salami-slicing, occurs when the results derived for one experiment are published as two or more papers, thereby preventing the readers from obtaining a wider understanding of the overall experiment in a single paper.

[…] the fact that repetition makes for dullness and that a fresh mind may well be able to introduce a new and hence a more effective approach to what has become rather more than a twice-told tale.
I am aware that the story of “the story within the story” is itself a twice-told tale, but nonetheless I will tell it again, hoping to make it yield some additional meaning—if my initial contention is right.

Senses:
gloss: One of a set of planes, variously oriented and microscopically bounded, within a material, used in modelling stresses etc.
pos: noun
examples: 6.7.2 Microplane Models: The framework of anisotropic damage models allows for the incorporation of models that are based on the microplane concept. The microplane concept was originally conceived for metals, where well-defined planes exist in the crystal lattice, along which slip occurs preferentially. This theory, originated by Batdorf and Budiansky (1949), was originally named the slip theory and is now commonly referred to as crystal plasticity (Miehe and Schotte 2004). Later, the concept of preferential slip planes was adapted to damage and fracture in quasi-brittle materials such as concrete and rock and was renamed the microplane model (Bazant and Gambarova 1984) or multilaminate model (Zienkiewicz and Pande 1977). Obviously, the physical basis is now less obvious in the sense that preferential fracture planes cannot be distinguished, but by defining a sufficiently large number of potential fracture planes the damage evolution can be described accurately. Two major classes of microplane models can be distinguished, namely those based on the kinematic constraint and those based on a static constraint.

Ethereum and other projects that premine their coins are criticized because control of the cryptocurrency’s supply is potentially more centralized among “insiders” who participated in the presale and could manipulate the price or influence governance decisions. […] The sale documents said that once the Ethereum blockchain launched and the premined ether was issued, miners would generate new ether initially at an annual rate of 26% of the amount of ether issued in the crowdsale – the issuance rate isn’t fixed and is capped at 18 million ETH minted per year.
