the claim

Self-plagiarism is considered academic misconduct.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
4 sources for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that self-plagiarism is considered academic misconduct?

Partly. Reference and peer-reviewed sources treat self-plagiarism as an ethical or integrity concern in some settings, while a handbook notes it is often a gray area generally not counted as research misconduct and a forum answer disputes the concept outright. The evidence covers the claim only in part and points both ways.
