Dear Colleagues,
I would like to re-use a figure from a previously published paper of mine (publisher: Elsevier). When should I ask the publisher for permission to re-use content: before I submit a new paper or after it gets accepted?
Thanks in advance!
Monika
This is a great question, Monika. You should apply for permission while writing the manuscript. Most likely you will get the publisher's permission within 7-10 days. You need to state in the article the source of the figure and that permission was obtained from the publisher. The publisher will ask you for an acknowledgment;, may provide you with the statement. On submission of your paper, you should submit together with the copyright and cover letter, etc., you should submit the letter of approval from the publisher.
Dear Samy,
This is an extremely helpful answer. Thank you very much!
Cheers,
Monika
