A third party (e.g. publisher) might permit you to include copyright work in your thesis for examination, but this is not the same as permission to make the published material available, via your thesis, in the Research Profiles and Repository.
If you have included material with third party copyright, you should:
- Seek advice from the University’s Copyright Officer using the Copyright Advice Forms for staff or students. The Copyright Officer will be able to provide information on what constitutes third party copyright in creative works.
- If your thesis includes published articles, the accepted manuscript of these articles can usually be included in the Research Profiles and Repository copy.
- Provide a link to the publisher’s version of the record.
- Ensure that informed consent has been obtained for the use of research participants’ photographs (e.g. patients), and particularly for the use of images of Indigenous Australians.
- Confirm that the identity of participants in the research is adequately protected.
Alternatively, you can:
- Omit third party copyright content from the Research Profiles and Repository version of your thesis.
- Include a notation where the material has been removed and, if possible, a link to an online location for the published material.
