Miguel helps to define self-plagiarism within science and scholarship and review its common forms - duplicate publication, augmented publication (when a dataset is republished with additional observations), salami publication (creating two or more publications from the same study), and text recycling (re-using substantial parts of your own previously published publications). He discusses the reader-writer contract and some scenarios of re-use in books (e.g., new editions, re-using portions of chapters from one book to another, from journal articles to book), , conference presentations (e.g., presented at more than one conference, conference presentation to journal article) and doctoral dissertations and theses (e.g., dissertation/thesis to publication, publications to dissertation). He explains why authors should be concerned about re-using previously published work.
Writing
The Digital Academic by
This book brings together leading scholars who examine the impacts, possibilities, politics and drawbacks of working in the contemporary university, using digital technologies. Contributors take a critical perspective in identifying the implications of digitisation for the future of higher education, academic publishing protocols and platforms and academic employment conditions, the ways in which academics engage in their everyday work and as public scholars and relationships with students and other academics.

Optimising Your Academic Career by
This book aims to demystify the academic process by providing new and intending academics with an insight in what to expect. While it is clearly grounded in the New Zealand context, it will resonate with new academics further afield - indeed, some of the peer contributors are from universities in Australia and the UK. The book answers many of the questions you would expect, such as, how do you secure an academic position, how do you find a mentor, how do you develop your teaching, and how do you prepare a research plan?
