I am writing a research paper and I would like to create a figure that represents the ideas presented in a figure that appears in a book. Can I simply cite it in the appreciate style or do I need to gain permission from the author of the book? Just to make sure that this point is clear I am not reproducing the original figure from the book. I am creating my own figure to represent the ideas from the original figure.
Hi Peter Paul Cassino, I suggest you use Cf. wich stands for Confer. This abbreviation advises readers to consult other material, usually for the purpose of drawing a contrast. So, you are presenting your material and the source that inspired you. Cheers!
I have used the words "adapted from...and cite the source of the original figure.
