Once you have obtained the necessary permission to reproduce previously published materials, you are responsible for incorporating the appropriate credit lines into your manuscripts. For most ASCE publications, acknowledging permission to reproduce material is relatively simple and is an extension of the author-date referencing system.
The manuscript must include a full citation of the source of the reproduced material in its reference list. In addition, the text, figure, or table should contain an author-date citation plus a comma and the words “with permission of” and the copyright owner’s name. For example:
| Direct quotation of text |
“…is significant in wave blocking when the breakwater is property restrained” (Briggs and McCormick 2006, with permission from Elsevier). |
| Figure caption |
Figure 4-5. Portal crane wheel loads. (AASHTO 2002, with permission from American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials) |
| Table title |
Table 2. Properties of Typical Diaphragms (Brown and Johnson 2002, with permission from McGraw-Hill) |
| Source line separate from figure caption or table title |
Source: Brown and Johnson 2002, with permission from McGraw-Hill. |
|
Material previously published in another ASCE publication |
(Stuart and Jones 2005, ASCE) |
Other types of credit lines may also be appropriate:
| Credit lines for figures that have been adapted from previously published tables, or for tables that have been adapted from figures |
Figure 2. Rainfall and groundwater accumulation, by month (Adapted from Campbell and Henry 2004) |
Credit lines for items (such as diagrams or photographs) that do not come from a referenceable source but that have been provided by the owner
|
Figure 6. Damage accumulation at a failure (Photograph courtesy of ABC Corporation) |
| Credit lines for items that do not come from a referenceable source and for which no owner can be traced |
Figure 12. Decision tree for construction cost analysis (Diagram from XYZ, Inc.) |
For some single- or joint-author books, it is acceptable to gather all the credits in a special section that appears at the front or back of the book.
