Permissions

Permission is required for any material that is not original. As a rule, written permission must be obtained from the rightsholder to re-use any copyrighted material. Typically, the rightsholder of published material is the publisher unless it is explicitly indicated otherwise. Copyrighted material can include figures, illustrations, charts, tables, photographs, and text excerpts. Re-use of any borrowed material must be properly acknowledged, even if it is determined that written permission is not necessary.

Written permission may not need to be obtained in certain circumstances, such as the following:

• Public domain works are not protected by copyright and may be reproduced without permission, subject to proper acknowledgement. This includes works for which copyright has expired (for example, any US work published prior to 1923), works that are not copyrightable by law (for example, works prepared by US government employees as part of their official duties), and works expressly released into the public domain by their creators. (Permission would however be required to re-use the final formatted, edited, published version of a public domain journal article, for example, as this version is owned by the publisher.)

• Open access content published under a CC-BY user license, as well as open access content published under other types of user licenses depending on the nature of your proposed re-use (for example, commercial vs. nonprofit use), may not require written permission, subject to proper acknowledgement. Permissions vary depending on the license type, and we recommend that readers check the license details carefully before re-using the material.

• Creating an original figure or table from data or factual information that was not previously in figure or table format typically does not require permission, subject to proper acknowledgement of the source(s) of the data.

Permission must be obtained from the rightsholder of the material. In most cases this will mean contacting the publisher of the material. The publisher typically has the exclusive right to grant the permission whether or not copyright is owned by the publisher. If the rightsholder requires that the credit line be in a specific format, this must be followed exactly, e.g.,:

Suitable acknowledgement to the source must be made, either as a footnote or in a reference list at the end of your publication, as follows:

"Reprinted from Publication title, Vol /edition number, Author(s), Title of article / title of chapter, Pages No., Copyright (Year), with permission from Elsevier [OR APPLICABLE SOCIETY COPYRIGHT OWNER]."

Photographs or illustrations of fine art objects (sculptures, paintings, etc.) are frequently subject to copyright, and permission may need to be obtained from the holder of the reproduction rights in the photograph (usually the photographer, the publisher, or the museum that owns the object). Permission may need to be obtained from both the rightsholder of the art object itself (if still protected by copyright) as well as the photographer of the art object.

The Artists Rights Society in the US and its sister societies outside the US, including DACS in the UK and VG Bild-Kunst in Germany, represent the intellectual property rights of many well-known artists such as Pablo Picasso, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Andy Warhol.

Probably. Most material on the Internet is protected by copyright whether a copyright notice is displayed or not. Some material posted on websites may not be original to the website itself and permission will therefore need to be requested from the rightsholder of the original source, once the rightsholder can be identified. If the material is original to the website, permission should be obtained directly from the website which will own copyright to the content on their site, unless this in public domain.

When requesting permission to re-use material in your forthcoming Elsevier journal article or book chapter, you may be able to use our permission request form which asks that the rightsholder grant to Elsevier the following rights: this and all subsequent editions, revisions, versions, derivative works, translations, ancillaries, adaptations, supplementary materials, and custom editions; all languages; all formats and media now known or hereafter developed; worldwide distribution in perpetuity.

We often cannot include material where these rights have been restricted. In these cases you will need to obtain alternate material. Please use original, unpublished figures, tables, and other content, or at minimum content that is original to Elsevier and its imprints, whenever possible

If a rightsholder does not respond after multiple attempts to contact them or if the RH details are unavailable, it would be best to remove their material and replace it with alternate material to avoid further risk or delay in publications. However, you should keep records of all correspondence as proof of your attempts to obtain permission. It can never be assumed that a non-response authorizes you to use the material.

Yes, Elsevier is a signatory to the STM (Int’l Assoc. of Scientific, Technical & Medical Publishers) Permissions Guidelines 새 탭/창에서 열기. The Guidelines encourage the granting of permission by one STM signatory publisher to another to re-use limited amounts of material from published works in subsequent publications. Permission will be granted by one signatory publisher to another free of charge to:

Use up to three figures (including tables) from a journal article or book chapter, but: not more than five figures from a whole book or journal issue/edition; not more than six figures from an annual journal volume; not more than three figures from works published by a single publisher for an article; not more than three figures from works published by a single publisher for a book chapter; and in total not more than thirty figures from a single publisher for republication in a book, including a multi-volume book. Single text extracts of less than 400 words from a journal article or book chapter, but: not more than a total of 800 words from a whole book or journal issue/edition.

Permission automatically includes re-use for electronic versions of the work as well as for subsequent editions and translations, except as outlined on the STM website. When granting permissions, STM publishers will not request a complimentary copy of the new work except in limited circumstances. View the complete list of STM signatory publishers 새 탭/창에서 열기.

It depends. STM signatory publishers fall under 2 categories: STM Opt-Out (Notification Not Required) and STM Not Opt-Out (Notification Required). A formal permission is not required for the publishers who fall under STM Opt-Out category and a formal permission is required for the publishers who fall under STM Not Opt-Out category.

However, we need to track carefully how much total material we are re‐using from the borrowed‐from STM publisher (inclusive of both STM Opt-Out and Not Opt-Out publishers) to ensure that we do not exceed the STM limits—most notably, “no more than three figures from works published by a single publisher for a book chapter” and “in total not more than thirty figures from a single publisher for republication in a book.”

Elsevier journal authors retain the right to use or re-use portions or excerpts in other works, subject to proper acknowledgement. As this is a retained right, no written permission is necessary for Elsevier journal authors to reuse figures/tables/excerpts from their prior articles in their forthcoming book chapter, provided that the material is not credited to any third party and that the original source is properly acknowledged.

For any further clarifications, you can submit your query via our online form 새 탭/창에서 열기

Elsevier book authors retain the right to use excerpts* or a summary in a single chapter in a book (*Excerpts should not exceed ten percent (10%) of the work), provided that the material in question is not credited to any third party and that the original source is properly acknowledged. No written permission is therefore necessary for Elsevier book authors to reuse up to 10% of their prior contributions in their forthcoming book chapters; however, this policy does not apply to Elsevier book contributors, who will need to obtain permission even within the 10% limit (unless covered by the STM Permissions Guidelines; see above). Please find the Elsevier permission request form.

For any further clarifications, you can submit your query via our online form 새 탭/창에서 열기

Most likely yes, as it is usually the publisher who owns the copyright to the work. You would also need permission from the publisher to reuse material from Open Access articles which are © The Authors, but where the authors have licensed exclusive rights to the publisher.

For any further clarifications, you can submit your query via our online form 새 탭/창에서 열기

If the material was original to the book, no permission is necessary. If the material was credited to a third party, it depends on whether permissions license that you obtained from the third-part rightsholder covered all future editions or to the current edition only (for the latter case you would need to reobtain permission for the new subsequent editions).

For any further clarifications, you can submit your query via our online form 새 탭/창에서 열기

It depends. If your redrawn figure is substantially similar as that of the original figure, you should obtain permission. For example, a simple color change or change of labels on an X and Y axis is never sufficient. Alternately, if your redrawn figure can be considered significantly different than the original figure, you can merely acknowledge the original source (e.g., “Based on”/ “After”/ “Redrawn from”/ “Adapted from”/ “Data from”) without formal permission. This is often a judgment call. Best practice is to obtain permission where there is any similarity between the original and redrawn figures.

For any further clarifications, you can submit your query via our online form 새 탭/창에서 열기

If the material was original to the book, no permission is necessary. If the material was credited to a third party, it depends on whether the permissions license that you obtained from the third-party rightsholder covered all futured editions or only that edition (in which latter case you would need to reobtain permission for the new edition).

For any further clarifications, you can submit your query via our online form 새 탭/창에서 열기

It depends. “Open Access” refers to material (typically journal articles) that is freely available online, but it is not necessarily freely reusable.

For Creative Commons-licensed material, it depends on the license type 새 탭/창에서 열기. Licenses such as CC BY, CC BY 3.0, CC BY 4.0 are examples of licenses that permit such use. If you are reusing figures or tables published under these licenses, you will not require permission although it is important to acknowledge the source as specified in the publisher’s terms.

On the other hand, material available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) license would require permission to include in your Elsevier book chapter, since Elsevier is a commercial publisher.

ADAPTED/MODIFIED/REDRAWN refers to creating figures/tables such that the new figure/table doesn’t resemble like the original and the degree of adaptation followed is more than 75%. In this case, permission is not required.

If a modified/redrawn/adapted figure/table is substantially like that of the original figure, permission from the original source is required. A simple color change or change of labels on an X and Y axis is never sufficient. Even in the rare circumstances where a figure/table has been modified/redrawn/adapted enough so as not to require permission, the original source of the figure should nonetheless be acknowledged.

If you are uncertain whether it is substantially modified or redrawn from its original, then we recommend seeking permission to be legally safe.

Permission is not required if a figure/table is created using data and not taken the table/figure as such from any third party or published sources. For example, using data (i.e., in numbers) such as Statistical data, any data that is collected from Census, population etc.

STM Publishers support an approach to research based on common decency, respect, fairness, and mutual trust. These are the principles that the STM Permissions Guidelines are built upon to allow Signatory STM Publishers to use limited amounts of material in other original published works without charge, and with a minimum of effort needed for permissions clearance.

The STM Permissions Guidelines offer voluntary and reciprocal guidelines amongst Signatory STM Publishers to reuse limited amounts of material from published works in all languages in other print and electronic and audio publications, including subsequent editions and editions in other languages by the same publisher. Not all STM Publishers are Signatories of the STM Permissions Guidelines, and not all content published by a Signatory STM Publisher is included in this agreement.

Some STM signatory publishers (including Elsevier) do not require notification for reuse of material that falls within these limits by other STM signatory publishers, which means that permission is automatically granted subject to the borrowing publisher’s proper acknowledgement of the original source of the material; no written permission is necessary.

If Elsevier is the borrowing publisher, we need to track extremely carefully how much total material we are reusing from the borrowed‐from publisher (for example SAGE) to ensure that we do not exceed the STM limits—most notably, “no more than three figures from works published by a single publisher for a book chapter” and “in total not more than thirty figures from a single publisher for republication in a book.” Often, especially where the other publisher’s material is available via Rightslink®, it may be preferable to obtain written permission anyway, simply to retain a record of the permission (which will be granted free of charge) for our records.

The permissions process involves three steps:

Step 1: We ask that you submit both the completed permission log and copies of all permission licenses for any third-party images, figures, tables, boxes used in your [chapter/book]. Please ensure to update the yellow highlighted columns in the permission log (mandatory fields). View a sample permission log 새 탭/창에서 열기.

> Watch the video on how to fill a permission log 새 탭/창에서 열기

Step 2: Obtain any necessary permissions licenses or other approvals in writing from the rightsholders of the materials — this is usually but not always the publisher for any published works. Please also be aware that some publishers may have a longer turnaround time and some permissions may also be subject to fees.

Step 3: Please return the completed permissions log and copies of any permissions licenses to the assigned Copyright Coordinator. If your chapter/book exclusively contains only figures/tables created by you or your co-author and therefore requires no permissions, please confirm this with the assigned Copyright Coordinator. In this case, a permission log is not required, however we will require your confirmation via an email.

Please note that it is a legal requirement for us to have proof of permission to reuse any figures/tables/substantial text excerpts not original to your [chapter/book], as without this documentation Elsevier may be unable to publish the material in question.

Permissions can be applied through three modes: Email, Contact/Online form or via Rightslink/CCC (an automated permission granting service). Rightslink can often be the most convenient and efficient way to request permissions. Please find more information about using Rightslink 새 탭/창에서 열기.

Please find a video with more information on how to apply permissions 새 탭/창에서 열기.

If a rightsholder does not respond even after multiple attempts of contact, it would be best to remove their material or replace it with author's original material to avoid further risk or delay.
