I found two articles by the same author but published six years apart. The articles used different data sets and drew slightly different conclusions. However in the introductory and literature review sections, there were entire paragraphs that were the same in both articles. The latest article did not cite the first article and the copied paragraphs were not in quotes. Is this common practice and/or an ethical problem? Can you plagarize yourself?
