Permissions

The following information will assist you in understanding your responsibilities and in requesting permission to reproduce copyrighted material in your work. It is essential that all permission grants are submitted to Wiley together with your manuscript. Failure to do so may delay the publication of your book.


Your Responsibilities

  • Unless your contract says otherwise, as the author you are responsible for obtaining permission and paying any fees to use the third-party copyright material that your book and supplementary Web resources contain.
  • If you are a volume editor, ensure your contributors understand the requirements in these guidelines and provide proof of permission obtained at the same time they send you their contribution.

Guidelines

  • Permissions Guidelines for Authors: advice on what material requires clearance and which rights to ask for when making a permission request.  
  • STM Association Guidelines: Before making a permission request, it is strongly recommended that you ascertain whether the publisher of the material is a signatory to the STM Association Guidelines. If the publisher has opted out of receiving express permission requests, you may simply cite the source of the material in the caption and note that it falls under STM opt-out.
  • Wiley Preferred Vendors: Research and Selection Instructions for Authors provides a list of approved sources from which third-party photo, illustration, and video content can be used either for free or under the terms of Wiley-negotiated pricing and reuse-rights agreements for commercial publishing.
