PROCEDURE AND POLICY FOR
PERMISSION TO PUBLISH BORROWED MATERIAL

AlphaMed Press can publish borrowed material only with written permission of the original publisher. If you use illustrations and tables in your manuscript that are obtained from other sources, you must obtain permission from the original source. Secure these permissions as soon as possible. To assist you in this process, here is a helpful checklist to follow.

_____	Request permissions from the publisher and author (if the author owns copyright, the publisher will inform you to write the author).
_____	Send a copy of the illustration or table with your request.
_____	Keep a copy of each permission letter with the copy of the illustrations/tables for which you are requesting permission.
_____	Read contracts carefully. If indicated, complete, sign, and return to the publisher for co-signing.
_____	Retain a copy of each signed contract for your files and include a photocopy with your manuscript.
_____	Include a credit line for the borrowed material in the legend. (e.g., From Portenoy RK, Itri LM. Cancer-Related Fatigue: Guidelines for Evaluation and Management. The Oncologist 1999;4:1-10, with permission.)

When writing the Permissions Editor, include the following verbiage: "I am writing an article entitled < > for the publication entitled, < >, to be published by AlphaMed Press. I would like to borrow the material (a copy of which is attached) as outlined below."

Mention the number of the figure or table in the original publication and the page on which it appears.

For illustrations borrowed from a journal, state the name of the author(s), title of article, volume number, pages, and year.

For illustrations borrowed from a book, state the name of the author(s), title of chapter, names of the editors of the book (if different from author(s) of the chapter), title, edition of the book, place of publication, publisher, and year.
