All student work for the fulfillment of degree requirements is student work and the property of the student and should include proper citations of sources and acknowledgement of contributions from others.
Students have the right to publish their work.
In the event of a joint project, such a project will be publicly presented as such from the outset and the collaborators will agree from the beginning that their joint efforts will be publicly presented under both or all names. For the purpose of recording publications in the official curriculum vitae, both student and faculty member should include a statement regarding their respective individual contributions to the publication. If there is any dispute as to propriety in joint work, the matter should be brought to the attention of the graduate chair and then handled within the graduate group with appropriate consultation with members of the executive committee and other graduate faculty.
