Declaration of incorporated publications

When submitting your thesis, you will be required to confirm that:

• the work in the incorporated publications is your own
• co-authors give permission for the article to be included in the thesis.

To do this, you must complete the Declaration for publication incorporated in a thesis form. You will need to submit a completed form for each in-progress or published work included either as a distinct component or as included material in your thesis.

Your principal supervisor must sign the Declaration form for each publication. Where there is more than one author of a publication, at least one co-author, by agreement among the authors, should be nominated as the coordinating author, as defined in the University’s Authorship Policy.

The coordinating author is responsible for:

• communicating between the publishers and managing communication between the co-authors
• maintaining records of any authorship agreement
• signing the Declaration form.

You must upload all completed Declaration forms as a single combined file to the Thesis Examination System (TES) when submitting your thesis for examination. The signed forms should not be included in the thesis itself. Plan well ahead to obtain the required signatures to avoid delays to your examination.
