Avoiding Copyright Infringement


Always cite sources
Properly attribute all borrowed material by providing clear and accurate citations. Include author names, publication date, journal title, and DOI when available. Even when paraphrasing, attribution is essential to avoid plagiarism claims.

Remember that citation alone doesn't eliminate the need for permission, but it does demonstrate academic integrity and proper acknowledgment of others' work.


Paraphrase instead of quoting when possible

Summarize or paraphrase borrowed material whenever possible to avoid copyright infringement. Ensure your paraphrasing substantially transforms the original text while maintaining the core idea.


When quoting is necessary, keep excerpts brief and limited to what's essential for your argument. Extended quotations almost always require explicit permission from the copyright holder.


Obtain necessary permissions before submission

Secure all necessary permissions before submitting your manuscript to a journal. Start the permission process early, as it can take weeks or months to receive responses from copyright holders.


Keep detailed records of all permission requests and approvals. Many journals require copies of permission letters during the submission process, and having organized documentation will prevent publication delays.


Remember that copyright laws vary by country, and what constitutes fair use in one jurisdiction may not apply in another. When in doubt about whether permission is needed, it's always safer to request it. Most publishers and academic institutions offer resources to help navigate copyright concerns during the publication process.
