Is it true that reusing an identical appendix across multiple academic papers constitutes self-plagiarism?

Yes. Academic literature defines self-plagiarism as the uncredited reuse of previously published material by the same author, which includes reusing identical text blocks or appendices across multiple papers without proper citation.

The analysis

The claim is a specific, contestable empirical statement regarding publication ethics. Retrieved literature (specifically papers [3] and [8]) explicitly defines self-plagiarism to include the reuse of previously published text, data, or content by the same author without transparent citation of the original source. None of the provided papers refute this.
