Copyright and Fair Use

Often a publisher, copyright holder, or permissions grantor(s) require specific wording AND/OR may stipulate placement of the credit within an illustration or table, etc.  Such requests supersede the suggestions below.

Datasets are a bit different from the examples below. The resource below might be helpful.

APA 7^th Edition (quickly find a print copy at the Fl. 2 reference desk)

APA 7th:  Overall copyright information begins on page 384-390, starting with Section 12.14.  There are many examples.

Copyright attribution formats are found on page 389, section 12.18

The APA Blog often provides quick, helpful answers.

• If you have a license from a publisher for use of an image, figure, table, scales/questionnaires etc., read through the license as usually the exact  wording for the copyright attribution is specified.  This exact wording specified in the license is required and supersedes any of the wording found in style guides such as APA, MLA etc.
• Here is a general example--be sure to substitute the source (from a website as in this example) for the article, book, blog etc.

From 3.31 Crediting material that requires permission

“In addition to author, title, publication details, and (occasionally) copyright date, the credit line should include any page or figure number, If the work being credited is listed in the bibliography or reference list, only a shortened form need appear in the credit line (see third example).

For material acquired from a commercial agency, see 3.35. For proper citation style, see chapters 14 and 15.”

From the Third Edition 2008:

 Permissions see section: 5.6.4 page 162

 “For each permission you obtain, you must insert a statement at an appropriate place in the thesis or dissertation. Permission statements may appear individually in the test where the reprinted materials occur, or, especially if numerous, they may be given collectively in the acknowledgments section or on the copyright page.” 

 The typical statement consists of:

 Full bibliographic reference (i.e., author, title, city of publication, publisher, year of publication)

• Followed by a standard credit line (e.g., “Reprinted by permission of . . .”)
• Or wording stipulated by the copyright holder in the permission letter.
