Do you need to state that you have written permission from the copyright holder of the image I use as cover I am using a picture for the cover of my thesis. I received written permission from the copyright holder of this picture that I may use it for this purpose.
Do I need to make a comment somewhere in my thesis that I have this written permission and if so, where shall I make this comment? Or do even I need to include the entire written permission, perhaps in an appendix.
It is common in book length material to give a citation of the photo, perhaps in a footnote. The title page, if present, or a page just following, is possible. So is a footnote on the last page, which is probably a list of references. Another possibility is on an &quot;Acknowledgements&quot; page, if present.Just mark the citation for the photo as &quot;used with permission&quot;.
The citation is necessary in any case since the work isn't yours.
It isn't necessary to include the entire permission statement. But keep a copy of the statement.
