Hello. I've been writing a review for a while and I've used many figures and tables from other articles. However, This is the first time I have written a review and I dont know that how can I have to get permission from autors or editors of the journals to take their figures or tables for my review. For example, I wanted to get permission from the journal which published the article and I saw this message. So, can I use the figure or is there anything else I need to do? Thank you.
Just retype the part of the text in quotations marks above into your text. If the paper you are copying from has copied the figure from an earlier source then you have to approach the earlier source.
Licensing criteria and format may differ from publisher to publisher. You may now simply adapt that figure for single use by giving credit to the owner/editor in recommended format.
Kind regards.
Copyright is a big issue these days. Just quotation marks, or writing to editor/ author or giving credits is NOT enough! Most journals would not accept anything in violation of such copyright issues and would end up in bigger troubles.
For example, for ACS publishers the policies and approaches are here: http://pubs.acs.org/page/rightslinkno.jsp
For Elsevier this can be: https://s100.copyright.com/AppDispatchServlet?publisherName=ELS&contentID=S1874390016300970&orderBeanReset=true
For Nature: http://www.nature.com/reprints/permission-requests.html
and
for Wiley and Son's
can be: https://s100.copyright.com/AppDispatchServlet?publisherName=Wiley&publication=ELPS&title=Updates%20in%20metabolomics%20tools%20and%20resources%3A%202014%E2%80%932015&publicationDate=17%20NOV%202015&author=Biswapriya%20B.%20Misra%2CJustin%20J.%20J.%20der%20Hooft&startPage=86&endPage=110©right=%C2%A9%202015%20WILEY%E2%80%90VCH%20Verlag%20GmbH%20%26%20Co.%20KGaA%2C%20Weinheim&contentID=10.1002%2Felps.201500417&orderSource=Wileyonline&orderBeanReset=true
Awareness is very very important to move forward! : )
Truly, these are "journal" and "publisher" specific.
Good luck in writing the review and publishing it !
Thanks,

Information given above is good,I have had the previlage of doing such reviews,We need to contact the Publsher/s who will charge you to pay heavy amount for reproducing original plates with certain conditions, Elsewhere the Publihers/editors are generous and permission is granted free of charge and you need to acknowledge the source. Best.
