Isnt acknowledging the source of previously published material enough?
The rules of copyright protect individuals intellectual property (IP). They require that for ANY previously published material used in your manuscript, you must have written permission (email is fine) from the copyright holder (who may or may not be the author/ creator of the material). This includes but is not limited to images, diagrams, models, figures, tables and maps. There may be a charge for this, which you are liable for. You may also have to obtain permission to use your own previously published work, depending on who owns the copyright. If you have a question about copyright, or are having difficulty locating the holder of copyrighted material that you would like to reproduce, please contact Jen Richmond.
