How do I cite a previously published, copyrighted table, figure, survey instrument I plan to include or adapt to use in my thesis/dissertation?
After the legend for a table or figure or other material, you will first type out the entire reference and then the statement: Used (or Adapted) with permission of the publisher. There is an example of correctly citing a previously published table or figure, or survey instrument, etc. on p. 184 of the 5th edition of the APA’s Publication Manual. However, INSTEAD of permission from the author, you almost always get permission from the publisher. (See #7 above) The publisher, not the author, almost always owns the copyright. • Will an e-mail to the publisher meet the requirement for a letter authorizing use of copyrighted material? Yes, see #7 above for more information. • I would like to use graphs and tables in my dissertation that I included in articles I submitted to journals for publication. The material has not been accepted yet for publication. May I include those graphs without written permission from the publishers? What if it is published in the future? Will I need written perm
