Requesting permission to reuse copyright material: After getting permission

Acknowledge the copyright holder

Always indicate who owns the copyright when you use a work with permission. 

Follow the guidelines provided by the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association 7th ed. (Table 12.1 p 390) or other relevant referencing format.

For example: {INSERT Image title} from {INSERT source} by {INSERT author} used with permission.

Abide by any specific attribution requests made by a copyright owner or required as a condition of your licence.
