Reproducing Material Published by Other Publishers

Authors must obtain permission to reproduce any published material (figures, charts, tables, or text excerpts) that is not in the public domain or for which they do not own the copyright. Permission must be sought from the copyright holder, typically the original publisher, whose details can usually be found in the publication's imprint.

Permission is Required For:

  • Your own works published elsewhere, where copyright has not been retained.
  • Substantial excerpts from any third-party works.
  • Unaltered or minimally altered tables, graphs, charts, or artwork.
  • Images not owned by the authors.

Permission is Not Required For:

  • Reconstructed tables using previously published data, with proper citation (e.g., "Data from..." or "Adapted from...").
  • Short quotations considered fair use.
  • Graphs, charts, or artwork significantly redrawn or altered by the authors beyond recognition.

Obtaining Permission

To avoid delays in the publishing process, authors should begin seeking permissions as early as possible. If in doubt, seek permission. The JSKP cannot publish material from other publications without the necessary permissions.

The copyright holder may provide specific instructions for acknowledgment. If none are provided, use the following format:
"Reproduced with permission from [author], [title of book/journal]; published by [publisher], [year]." Include this at the end of captions for tables, figures, or charts.
