I would like to submit my thesis to an academic journal for publication. Do I need copyright clearances?

The special research exception will not apply, as the publication is not part of your research.
You do not need a clearance for anything:
in which copyright has expired (material in the public domain)
that is less than a "substantial part"
used for criticism or review, provided the use is fair.
In other cases, you may need a clearance.
