文本回收，即在新的文本中重新使用自己以前发表的文章中的材料，而不注明出处，是一种常见的学术写作实践，但尚未得到很好的理解。虽然学术写作中的语篇再循环已经有了一些研究成果，但还没有学者对语篇再循环的态度进行研究。本文介绍了对来自16个不同学术领域的86种顶级英文期刊的300多名期刊编辑和编委会成员进行的关于学术文章中文本回收的调查结果。回应表明，绝大多数学术把关人认为，在某些情况下，文本回收是允许的;然而，对于文本回收何时合适或不合适，缺乏明确的共识。根据回收材料的来源，其结构位置和修辞目的，作者的条件以及作为期刊编辑的经验水平，意见各不相同。我们的研究表明，需要进一步研究利用焦点小组和访谈的文本回收。
Text recycling, the reuse of material from one's own previously published writing in a new text without attribution, is a common academic writing practice that is not yet well understood. While some studies of text recycling in academic writing have been published, no previous study has focused on scholars' attitudes toward text recycling. This article presents results from a survey of over 300 journal editors and editorial board members from 86 top English-language journals in 16 different academic fields regarding text recycling in scholarly articles. Responses indicate that a large majority of academic gatekeepers believe text recycling is allowable in some circumstances; however, there is a lack of clear consensus about when text recycling is or is not appropriate. Opinions varied according to the source of the recycled material, its structural location and rhetorical purpose, and conditions of authorship conditionsas well as by the level of experience as a journal editor. Our study suggests the need for further research on text recycling utilizing focus groups and interviews.
