摘要

抄襲是直接損害他人全一的剽竊行為。自我抄襲未必直接損害他人權益，卻因為當是人過度膨脹共現指標，可能導致學術資源分配效率被扭曲，損害公共利益，也間接傷害不特定他人之權益。本文說明自我抄襲之必要條件如下：第一、作者為引用相似性之已發表文章。第二、作者未說明相似性文章之異同。第三、相似性文章接發表在學術性期刊。第四、作者將相似性文章同列學術著作履歷表，作為升等或申請計畫經費之佐證。第五、作者將相似性文章提出申請研究獎補助經費。第六、作者無法說明發表相似性文章之公益目的。本研究主張學術研究之目的是社會貢獻、知識累積與文明演化。而且強到落實憲法賦予之言論、講學、出版自由，已公開評論與回應方式，闡述自我抄襲違背學術倫理的意涵。本研究透過社會科學方法，分析人文學議題，得以具體闡述自我抄襲之定義與性質，將同時促進人文學與社會科學之進展。

Plagiarism is the behavior of stealing, directly impairing the interests of the original authors. Although self-plagiarism does not cause damage to any particular person, it would undermine the distribution efficiency of academic and social resources after the actor exaggerates his or her achievement. Self-plagiarism is still harmful to the academic circle. This paper illustrates the necessary condition of self-plagiarism, including: first, the author does not cite similar prior or contemporary works that he or she authored; second, the author does not acknowledge the difference between the similar works; third, similar papers are published in academic journals; fourth, similar papers are listed in his or her curriculum vitae when applying for funds or promotion; fifth, the author uses similar papers to apply for multiple pecuniary rewards; sixth, the author cannot justify the social benefits of having produced similar articles. We proclaim that the purpose of academia is to make practical contribution to society, the accumulation of knowledge, and contribution towards the evolution of human civilization. We insist on the fulfillment of the rights of free speech, which includes the content of lectures and publications, granted by the Constitution. Accordingly, we explicate the meaning of self-plagiarism, openly and publicly. This paper analyzes issues pertaining to humanity through a scientific paradigm, and clarifies the definition and features of self-plagiarism. This study explicates self-plagiarism from multiple perspectives. Subsequently, both humanistic and scientific research are benefited from this study.
