Permissions Page
Elsevier states that permission generally should be sought from the rights holder to reproduce substantial copyrighted material such as text, illustrations, charts, tables, or photographs. Whether a separate permissions page is used is a publisher/workflow choice.
A permissions page or permissions record documents third-party material and the permission/credit information required for reuse. Obtain rights clearance when required and follow the publisher’s preferred placement.
Key details
Important caveats
Rights Boundary
Permission needs depend on ownership, licence, statutory exceptions and the intended reuse; do not assume attribution alone always grants reuse rights.
Further guidance
Placement
A publisher may handle permissions through forms, captions, credits, a permissions log or a dedicated page; follow the production instructions for the specific work.
Purpose
Collect or present required permission and credit information for third-party copyrighted material.
