Hello,
I am doing a PhD in computer science (on simulation and modeling) and my research is based on the work of a few physicists.
I have written around 10 papers (journal, IEEE and other international conferences and local ones) on this topic. I normally add a contribution (let's say 4-5 months of work) and then write a new paper to report it in a conference. Then after I have 3-4 papers, I convert them to a journal paper.
In these papers I need to put some background and literature review and some parts of my previous works (which are almost the same). The problem is that every time I want to write a paper, my supervisor forces me to reword every single sentence. Do you believe that I have reworded some of the paragraphs 5-6 times!?
I am really really tired of this!
Is it really needed to reword my own sentences and paragraphs word by word each time (even though the paper contains totally new contributions) ? Will it be considered as plagiarism if I have almost (90%) similar paragraphs (2-3 paragraphs) in my papers?
Thanks,
Mac
