This guide focuses on guidance for obtaining copyright permission and citation guidelines for using your previously published articles in your dissertation or thesis. You will also need to check if an image, figure, data, survey, instruments etc. are copyright protected before planning to use in the dissertation. We recommend you schedule an appointment with a Research & Learning Librarian for this process.
