•  Acknowledgements  are  addi<onal  to  the  usual  referencing  

When  copyright  belongs  to  a  third  party  you  will  need  to:  •  Seek  permission  from  the  copyright  holder  for  use  of  their  material.  Par<cularly  if  

you  are  going  to  make  the  material  available  on  the  Internet  or  in  a  publica<on.  •  If  granted  permission,  clearly  acknowledge  the  rights  holder.    •  If  you  have  transferred  copyright  of  your  own  work  to  a  publisher  you  will  probably  

have  to  acknowledge  the  rights  holder  as  the  publisher.  

How  to  acknowledgement  work  once  permission  is  granted  •  Check  if  the  rights  holder  requires  specific  wording  for  the  acknowledgement.    •  Some<mes  material  will  have  a  license  such  as  a  Crea<ve  Commons  licence  •  The  acknowledgement  (or  licence  details  or  link)  should  be  placed  clearly  next  to  

the  material  to  which  it  relates.  •  Retain  evidence  of  the  permission(s)  •  If  you  have  built  on  someone  else’s  work  such  as  adap<ng  a  diagram,  you  should  

clearly  state  this  and  acknowledge  the  original  creator.  •  The  hard-­‐bound  copy  and  the  digital  copy  of  your  thesis  should  match
