The University of Otago Library has re-designed its Subject Guides system. Please let us know what you think by filling out this survey.
You own your own work, access to your thesis via our archive, licensing your work, using the work of others, copying where you don't need permission, copying where you need permission, finding things you can reuse, publishing articles or chapters during or after your thesis.
Think of your thesis as a bundle of material from different sources, where copyright in each element may be owned by different people or organisations. Most of it will be your work, of course, but most theses contain images, diagrams, tables, data and words created by others. You can use these within certain limits, as explained below, but beyond those limits you may need permission. This takes time so don't leave it until the last minute. Don't worry, there's expert advice and support available from:
After reading this guide, you might like to refer to the very detailed NZ Copyright Guidelines for Research Students 2nd ed. 2012.
As a student, you own copyright in your own work. This is made explicit in the University's Intellectual Property Rights of Graduate Research Students Policy . Note that there are some important provisos, such as when your research is externally funded.
In general, if you write text, make diagrams, create software, collect data, etc., then you own the copyright in those things. However, there can be grey areas, for example if you're using a survey tool developed by your supervisor or you're collecting data that is part of a larger set gathered by a research lab over many years. If you are unsure about who owns what talk to your supervisor or the University's copyright officer.
It's a really good idea, as suggested in the IP Rights policy, to develop an agreement in writing with your supervisor. Even when there is no commercial value in your work – which is true in most cases – it is still important to clarify expectations about what you create as part of your research. Think about what each of you might expect to happen after study: who can do what with the data you gather or materials you create? What will you or they publish based on the research? The important thing is to talk about it, agree, and put that agreement in writing in some form.
The Submission tab of this guide goes into detail about the process for depositing the electronic version of your thesis, including details about permissions you gained for using others' work.
When you deposit your thesis you fill out an Author Declaration form, which includes a section called "Access to my thesis."
Your thesis is just like a book: hopefully people will want to read and reuse it. As copyright owner, you can decide whether you want to retain all rights or licence your work with an open access licence. Your options are:
Creative Commons Aotearoa NZ. (2011). Creative Commons Licenses explained. < https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyWdeNQ7fo0 >
You will probably use things created by others in your thesis: images, diagrams, tables, maps, data, video, audio, etc. This is sometimes referred to as 'third party' copyright. You can sometimes use others' work without seeking permission but it depends on a few factors, as explained below.
And remember, if you co-authored a work with someone, they own a share of the copyright and need to grant permission too.
You don't always need permission to copy someone else's work. Use the tabs above, going from left to right, to see what might apply to material you want to include in your thesis.
You'll find more and more content on the web being made available under open licences that allow reuse. An individual work, such as a journal article, may include a copyright statement that allows reuse, such as this online article (find the word 'copyright' on the page) or printed on its PDF version ; sometimes websites include blanket statements that cover all the material on that site, such as Statistics NZ .
TIP: always check a website for a 'terms of use' or 'copyright' page and see what it says. If it says 'all rights reserved' or similar then you need to think about whether your use is fair dealing or to seek permission, as explained below.
Copyright does expire, of course, which renders these questions null and void. However, working out whether copyright has expired is notoriously difficult, even for experts. It's best to get advice on this from the people listed as contacts above.
Fair dealing (or 'fair use' in some parts of the world) is a key concept in copyright law. It allows any person to use copyrighted material in certain ways where you would otherwise have to seek the permission of the copyright holder. There are important limits and it is your decision as to whether your use would qualify as fair or not.
For research and private study you can make a single, working copy of a legally obtained original, though there would be limits to this (e.g. a chapter or 10% of a book; for rarer or older material you might be able to copy more - ask a librarian).
For the purpose of criticism or review (i.e. what you might do in your thesis), you might be able to copy someone else's work. Short quotations, properly attributed, are acceptable. It's trickier with things like images, which are a whole work in and of themselves, diagrams, tables, etc. Ask yourself these questions:
More on fair dealing:
Even websites that say they are all rights reserved sometimes say that certain uses are OK or that copying within certain limits are OK. Check the terms of use. For example, the American Psychological Association clearly explains what you need to seek permission for and what you don't (e.g. it says that up to three figures or tables are OK).
If your use of others' copyright material doesn't fit within what's outlined above, you may need to get permission.
TIP: with the larger commercial publishers, you will often find a standard form for requesting permissions. This is sometimes a link on a website's 'contact us' or 'terms / copyright' pages; other times you might find a 'Get permissions' link on pages for individual articles. These forms usually have boxes and drop down menus to specify how much you want to use and for what purpose. Check out a video on this.
Otherwise, contact the copyright owner and advise them that you intend to use their work, detail the pages, graphs, diagrams, etc. you want to use and in what ways. Do this in writing so you have a record.
With traditionally published material, the publisher will most likely hold copyright so ask them (not the author). With Open Access material, you don't need to ask because the open access licence gives you permission up front. If the copyright holder is an individual person then contact the person; if the person has died then you need to contact their estate. If you want to use material held by galleries, libraries, archives and museums, they may require permission. Note that your use might still be allowed without permission, as outlined in the boxes above this one. However, there may also be non-copyright reasons why you can't copy something, like indigenous property rights.
TIP: if you have an image and you can't remember where you got it from, you can 'reverse search' for images using Google image search or Tineye . Basically you can upload an image (rather than entering text) and the search will show you images it thinks are the same or similar. This can be useful in tracking down where images came from and who might own the copyright.
When you receive permission to use a work in your thesis, record the details, such as:
One way to record these is to use a Permissions log. Another option is to use reference management software such as Endnote or Zotero.
In the thesis itself, you should not only attribute each source as you normally would but also add a rights statement such as 'Copyright XYZ Publishing, used with permission' or describe the licence that applies. For work licensed under Creative Commons, check their best practice for attributions .
Some copyright owners may not grant you permission to use their work. Some may not respond (or even exist anymore!). If you don't hear back that doesn't mean you can use it. If you don't get permission then consider:
Permissions Log - one of the additional files you will upload when you deposit the electronic version of your thesis. Such evidence provided to the Library will be retained offline , together with the corresponding thesis.
If permission to use works of others has either not been sought, or has been refused, those particular items in your thesis (photos, tables, etc) will not be made accessible within Otago University Research (OUR) Archive, or your thesis can be submitted at Abstract only level . Add a note per item to indicate which have been suppressed, e.g. “This image has been removed for copyright reasons”.
You may have other additional files, e.g. sound, video, image or data, that are part of your research output. Provide a URL or option to download when you deposit them.
For openly-licensed works you can reuse, use the search engines on the following sites. In most cases, you need to use licensing filters on the advanced search or the results page.
Photographs, images
Europeana , Digital Public Library of America , DigitalNZ (all public aggregators of millions of works)
Flickr , Everystockphoto , Google images (using Search tools/Usage rights filter on the results page), Gratisography , Pixabay , Freepik
Wikimedia Commons (includes graphs, diagrams, ...)
Wellcome images ("...ranging from medical and social history to contemporary healthcare and science.")

Many students will consider or even be expected to publish articles or chapters while working on or after completing their thesis. This is fine in most cases but you should always check the policies of publishers you're considering or likely to submit to. These policies should make clear whether the publisher accepts thesis-related work. Consult the MIT Library website for a comprehensive list of major publishers' policies . If the publisher you're looking at isn't listed there then search the publisher's website for 'thesis' or 'prior publication' or consult their information for authors.
This is especially important for students completing a thesis by publication.
Note that you will always be able to include your publications in your thesis and have it examined -- the restriction may be on whether your final thesis can be made free-to-access via OUR Archive when you make your thesis deposit.
A related issue is that the rules for what you might be able to copy in your thesis can change when publishing with a commercial publisher. Even if something is allowed by the law (e.g. fair dealing for criticism and review to quote a short extract from another article), some publishers may require you to clear permission for everything . In other words, this is their practice as a matter of policy..

If you use materials (such as text, images, sound recordings, etc.) created by a third party in your dissertation, you need to consider whether copyright law allows your use of those materials. In some cases, even reusing your own published articles can raise copyright concerns, if you have transferred your copyright to someone else, like your publisher. Even when copyright permits your use of a work, contract law may prevent it. When you agree to terms of use in order to gain access to a copy of a work (such as a letter in an archive or a newspaper article in an online database), those terms also control what you can do with the work.
You can proceed without copyright permission if you are using something that is not copyrightable or is in the public domain . You also don't need permission if you are using it in a way that does not implicate one of the rights of copyright holders or is permitted by a user’s right , such as fair use. If none of these circumstances applies, you need a license to use the work. In some cases, an existing license may cover your use. In others, you will need to get a new license from the copyright holder. For more information on these subjects, please see our Copyright Basics and Obtaining Copyright Permissions guides.
In addition to the copyright issues, it is also vital to follow attribution norms within your discipline. For more information about the distinction between plagiarism and copyright infringement, see below.
Some institutions require you to sign an agreement before accessing their collections. That agreement may limit your ability to use their materials. These agreements are valid even when the materials are in the public domain or using the materials would qualify as fair use. For instance, if you agree to get permission from the institution before publishing any images of items from its collection, you are bound by that agreement.
To avoid trouble on this issue,
Fair use allows certain uses of copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. There are four factors to consider when determining whether your use is a fair one. You must consider all the factors, but not all the factors have to favor fair use for the use to be fair. The outline below explains how the fair use factors and their subfactors apply to using third-party material in a University of Michigan dissertation.
Uses that fall under one of the favored purposes listed in the fair use statute (17 U.S.C. § 107) or have a nonprofit educational purpose will weigh in favor of fair use. Favored purposes include scholarship, research, criticism, and comment. Since uses in dissertations often have these purposes, this subfactor favors fair use.
Uses that are commercial weigh against fair use. Most uses in dissertations are not for commercial purposes, but that may change if you publish your dissertation with ProQuest or another commercial entity.
Uses that are transformative weigh in favor of fair use. A use is transformative when the use adds new meaning or message to the original work, giving it a new purpose. For example, imagine you are writing your dissertation about the impacts of advertising directed to children. You include a toy advertisement and analyze how it reached a child audience. The original purpose of the advertisement was to increase demand for the toy, while your purpose is for scholarship and critique, making your use transformative. Quoting another scholar's analysis of the advertisement would not necessarily be transformative, though it is still often fair use.
If the work used is creative, that will weigh against fair use. If the work used is factual, that will weigh in favor of fair use. The outcome of this subfactor varies depending on the work used.
If the work used is unpublished, that will weigh against fair use. However, the fair use statute explicitly states that the unpublished nature of a work will not bar fair use if the use is otherwise fair. The outcome of this subfactor varies depending on the work used.
Using all or much of the original work will weigh against fair use. The outcome of this subfactor varies depending on the use.
Using the most important part of the original work (the "heart") will weigh against fair use, even if it is only a small amount of the work. The outcome of this subfactor varies depending on the use.
The third factor is neutralized if the amount used is necessary for a transformative purpose, even if the entire original work is used. For instance, the third factor would be neutralized in the use of the toy advertisement described above — all of the advertisement has to be used in order to achieve the transformative use.
Uses that decrease demand for the original work by providing a substitute will weigh against fair use. In many cases, using a work in your dissertation will not provide a substitute for the original work, but the outcome of this subfactor can vary depending on the use.
Uses that decrease demand for the original work by criticizing it (as with a negative film review) have no impact on the fourth factor.
If the licensing market for the use you are making is "traditional, reasonable, or likely to develop," that will weigh against fair use.
A Creative Commons license makes it easy for you to know how you can use a work. Images licensed under Creative Commons licenses can be particularly useful if you need a generic rather than specific image. Because the rights holder has already given everyone permission to use the image under the terms of the license, you do not need to evaluate fair use or seek permission in order to use it.
When you use a work licensed under one of the Creative Commons licenses, you need to comply with the license requirements (unless your use is otherwise permitted, e.g., by fair use). All Creative Commons licenses require attribution. Using the work without giving attribution means you do not meet the legal conditions of the license. However, the licenses are deliberately flexible about the requirements for that attribution. The Best Practices for Attribution are outlined on the Creative Commons wiki. Our guide to Creative Commons licenses has more information on this topic.
When works are marked with code generated by the Creative Commons License Chooser , that mark is machine readable. A number of search tools allow users to limit their search by license.
Copyright infringement and plagiarism are related but distinct concepts. Plagiarism is using the work of another without attribution. Copyright infringement is any reproduction, distribution, modification, performance, or display of a copyrighted work without the permission of the rights holder that does not fall under fair use or another user's right.
It is possible to plagiarize even when you have cleared permission for all the copyrighted works. Similarly, it is possible to infringe copyright even when you have given careful attribution. In addition to resolving the copyright issues, you must follow attribution norms within your discipline in order to avoid plagiarizing others' work.
U.S. copyright law does not require citation in a particular form. However, following academic citation norms can help improve your fair use analysis. Check with your dissertation advisor for help figuring out what citation style you should use in your dissertation.
The Rackham Dissertation Handbook (PDF) says sources that must be cited include, but are not limited to:
language or wording either taken directly or paraphrased from another source, whether published or not; concepts, interpretations, techniques, methods, test instruments or procedures borrowed or adapted from another work, whether published or not; charts, graphs or figures borrowed or adapted from another source, whether published or not; photographs, films, recordings, digital material or other images from another source; and data, surveys or results of any kind from any other inquiry or investigation.

Q&A for work
Connect and share knowledge within a single location that is structured and easy to search.
I need to add some images to my thesis. I would strongly prefer that these are free (no cost) and not restricted by copyright. I have used Google Image to find images, I don't know how to determine what the copyright restrictions are, or what license types apply. I will not use them in any published paper, just for my unpublished thesis.
P.S. Here are the search options for Google Image:
You can't rely on the options for Google Image search. Instead, you will have to do additional research for each of the images you find and intend to use.
First, you need to find the original author/creator of that image. It may or may not be the same as the owner/creator of the web site where you find the image. (They may have copied the image from somewhere else, with or without permission.) You can use Google Image search "search by image" option to find other copies of that same image on other sites.
Second, you need to find the copyright statement for that image on the site of the owner . In many cases, you'll find a copyright statement as part of the "Terms of Service" for the whole web site. In other cases, there will be a copyright statement for each and every image.
Third, when in doubt, you need to contact the author/owner and ask for permission to use the image.
If all this seems cumbersome and so non-digital, be aware that copyright law (and intellectual property rights law in general) still lives in the pre-digital age. Lawyers still send faxes to each other and to the courts. Think about that.
This depends highly on your countries laws and regulations.
For example: The German copyright laws has some limitations for the use of works in the area of teaching and research .
With the CC licenses you risk less mistakes. But you have to take care of the correct distribution.
In any case, pages that give information about the media-license are good sources, because you mostly have a clear licensing statement for any file. So you can easily decide whether and how to use it. I doubt that an author will change the license later on. You could use a web preservation repository service like WebCite to create evidence that the file had a specific license when you found and decided to use it.
Suggestions for search:
I'm a strong supporter of Wikipedia and her sister projects. One of those projects is exactly what you're looking for. The Wikimedia Commons is a database of 26,536,356+ freely usable media files to which anyone can contribute. There are millions of images (not just photographs) and thousands added each day. You can view all the licensing for every media file, although that might not be entirely necessary considering all of them are free to use.
Flickr makes it very easy to find images that have a "free" license in the sense explained in Andrés answer . These also include beautiful images from public archives , such as the British Library. In contrast to a google image search (see MrMeritology's answer ), the author and copyright information on Flickr are reliable. However, one caveat is that the author might change the license and you have no way to prove that the work was "free" when you first used it.
If you are confused whether or not you can reuse a copyrighted image, this flowchart might help.
I wanted a very specific image for my dissertation, and found a simple solution - I drew it myself, and scanned the result. Since I created it, the copyright status was exactly the same as the words I was writing. It did not need any acknowledgement or reference. It cost me a few dollars for materials, and about an hour of my time.
There are a number of sites where you can download images. For certain sites, attribution isn't required (but usually appreciated). For example:
Flickr ( https://www.flickr.com ) also offers a great database of free images. You can use the search tool and then filter by copyright types:
In order to use images in your thesis you need to know who made them so that you can properly credit them, regardless of the issue of copyright. Proper accreditation is probably a more significant issue for your thesis than complying with copyright laws since failure to properly credit images including in your thesis is plagarism .
Since you will need to identify the original creator of each piece anyway, I would suggest you rely much more on what you learn through this route than anything Google tells you.
I think, if you guide yourself by the creative commons it could get easier but Im not aware of how your contry takes this online practices so you might want to check that
This is an article that helped me a lot some weeks ago with free photos and images ready to be used, some shared under the creative commons other freely shared by their owners

Mary Martin, Duke Hospital Chief Operating Officer, bonded with her 11-year-old daughter at the Taylor Swift concert in Amsterdam
Anyone who emailed Mary Martin during the first week of July received an automatic reply that hinted at the Duke Hospital Chief Operating Officer’s level of devotion to why she would not be replying any time soon.
“ Don't Blame Me but you know All Too Well that my daughter is a huge Taylor Swift fan,” the out-of-office email read. “Thus, we shall be celebrating this Cruel Summer by seeing Ms. Swift in Amsterdam July 2-8. I mean no Bad Blood but I will be difficult to reach during this time. If any Sparks Fly while I am out, just Shake It Off or reach out to The Man , David Gallagher, for any urgent needs.
“Here's to Never Grow ing Up and living our Wildest Dreams .”
She even posted it on LinkedIn before she left for the trip.
“I had several people tell me they were going to send me an email at work just so they could get that response back,” Martin said.
The weeklong trip was the culmination of a year’s worth of planning and a newfound determination to live life to its fullest.
Martin’s photo from the concert in Amsterdam on July 5 led to Martin winning the next prize in the annual Duke Time Off photo campaign. For her photo, Martin will receive a 24-can cooler courtesy of Duke University Stores.
Martin and her two daughters have been major Taylor Swift fans for years. She took her oldest daughter, Julia, to Swift’s “The Red Tour” in 2014 when Julia was 10. She took both Julia and her youngest daughter, Ava, to Swift’s “Reputation Stadium Tour” in 2018 when Julia was 16 and Ava was 6.
Last year, amid all the hype for Swift’s record-setting Eras Tour , Ava began hinting that she’d like to attend – if not in the U.S, then maybe in Europe.
“Oh, OK. That’s a reasonable request. Whatever,” Martin jokingly told her.
But Martin also knew it would be an incredible mother-daughter experience if she could pull it off. And three years removed from a colon cancer diagnosis , Martin has a new appreciation for the importance of seizing the moment.
“My whole attitude has changed to, ‘It's all about experiences, and you never know what could happen, so go while you can,’” Martin said.
Martin also admits she needs to be better about setting an example for why it’s valuable to refresh and recharge.
“As leaders, we have to model taking time off,” Martin said, “because we’re pretty bad at doing that.”
And if it involved an overseas trip with 11-year-old Ava to see Swift, why not?
Martin’s brother, Dominic, happens to live in the Netherlands, so seeing one of Swift’s three Amsterdam performances worked out perfectly. Dominic was lucky enough to snag regular-price tickets through the Ticketmaster lottery, and all three attended the concert sporting outfits that reflected various Swift eras.
“It was really awesome,” Martin said. “I think she is such a good role model for young women, and it was just such a bonding experience.”
Ava apparently thought so, too. She almost started crying at the concert because she was so happy to be there. And she already has started hinting that Taylor Swift is playing a concert in Vancouver on Martin’s birthday later this year.
“I’m like, ‘Honey, no. We’re done,’” Martin said, laughing. “But I appreciated her angling for it.”
