§ 3 In the case of a document already published, the student must attach authorization from the Publisher for inclusion in the dissertation / thesis.
We clarify that the authorizations must be included in the thesis/dissertation as an attachment, even if the publication is in open access journals, it will be necessary to attach a document that proves this condition, such as, for example, a copy of the journal’s file, internet page, etc..
