Always request permission to reprint a figure unless you created the figure for the project it’s being printed in.

Seek written permission to reprint if:

• You created the figure for a different work that you do not hold copyright for
• Your friend, colleague, or spouse created the figure, but told you that you can reprint it in your work
• A third party you truly admire created the figure, and you think reprinting it in your work will enhance your project
• A third party you truly abhor created the figure, and you know reprinting it in your work will enhance your project
• You do not want to be sued or embarrassed for stealing

Any images, graphics, or other visual representations need to be properly attributed.
