Informative post. As a scientific editor and an aware writer, I am all-too familiar with the concept of self-plagiarism. More than one of my clients has objected to my advice that he or she rewrite sentences, paragraphs, or entire articles because the bulk of the "new" writing in question had already been published.

"But it's mine!" he says.

Perhaps. But let me ask you this, did you publish this article in a journal?

"Yes, yes, of course," she replies.

Then it isn't necessarily yours. Depending on your agreement with the publisher, your article might very well belong to the journal that published it. I would even go so far as to say, that it probably does.

"But I wrote it." That final adamant statement can sound uncannily like a child's objection.

As may be. Ben Mudrak, PhD, of AJE, provides a simple explanation of self-plagiarism at the following link: https://www.aje.com/arc/self-plagiarism-how-to-define-it-and-why-to-avoid-it/. If you are confused or just interested, I recommend that you go there and check it out.

That issue was not at all the only important one in your post, but it is one with which I have some familiarity, so I wanted to ring in on it.

As well as being an editor and a writer, I am also a musician. Rest assured that I'll be heading to your Creative Coin post, next.

Thank you for everything.
