Do I need copyright permissions if I want to include images, figures, and/or tables from another source in my dissertation?

Yes. You must obtain permissions for any images, figures, and/or tables appearing in copyrighted source. Dissertations are published by ProQuest and sold for commercial purposes. Personal and Fair Use in the case of the dissertation does not apply.

To obtain permission, you must first identify the copyright holder - author, publisher, organization or other entity that may hold the copyright. 

We recommend viewing the Copyright and Permissions tutorials and guides from Academic Writer. These resources explain the difference between citation and permissions, and they identify when it is necessary to obtain copyright permissions. 

For more information about obtaining copyright permissions, see these additional resources:
