May I include work (figures, tables, survey instruments, articles that I have published previously that I want to use as chapters, etc.) in my thesis/dissertation?
Generally yes. However, you no longer own the materials if you have already published them. You must get permission from the publisher. See #7 above. At the beginning of the chapters you have already published as articles you must give the full citation of the publication and include the statement “Used (or Adapted) with permission from the publisher.” • What if my advisor gave me the material (or my department is using the material) I plan to use and include in my thesis/dissertation? If your advisor authored the material AND it has not been published anywhere, then you must get a written letter of permission from your advisor. See #7 and #8 for more information. If your department is using an instrument, you may use it. However, before you may include it in your thesis/dissertation, you must find out where it came from and get permission from the author if unpublished or the publisher if it was published. • The material I want to use and include in my paper came from the National Ins
