Permissions Request
European Journal of Inflammation grants any third party the right to use most articles freely, as long as its integrity is maintained and its original author, citation details and journal are identified. In general, reusing or reproducing substantial portions of European Journal of Inflammation’s content does not require permission. This includes use of text, figures, tables, multimedia content, and any other material published by European Journal of Inflammation. In some instances, however, some materials may require permission for reuse. To seek permission, please review the information below.
Process for Requesting Permission
Requests made to info@biolife-publisher.it can be processed immediately.
Tips for a Successful Permissions Request
Ensure the content you wish to reuse is not credited to another source. European Journal of Inflammation can only grant permission for own, original content, and any third-party material included within our publications is not included in any permission granted by European Journal of Inflammation. Include as much identifying information as possible for the European Journal of Inflammation content you wish to reuse including the ISSN, title, authors, volume, issue and page numbers. Describe the way you wish to reuse the content and what rights you require, including languages, formats, territories and the expected number of readers.
Requesting a quotation
When requesting a quotation, please include the full reference of the material (journal name, volume, issue, page numbers, name of author and title of article), the quantity of hard copy or electronic reprints required and a brief description of the intended use of the reprint. For further information, or to request a quote, please contact us info@biolife-publisher.it
Reproducing Published Material from Other Publishers
It is absolutely essential that authors obtain permission to reproduce any published material (figures, schemes, tables, or any extract of a text) which does not fall into the public domain, or for which they do not hold the copyright.
If your article makes use of any previously published material (including figures/diagrams, or short extracts, or content taken from websites), then written permission should be requested by the authors from the copyright holder, who is usually the publisher (for material taken from journal or proceedings articles), website owner/company (for material taken from websites) or the author or their employer (if the work is unpublished). Some publishers will also require that you seek the permission of the original author (you will need to check the terms of the publisher’s permission).
Permission is required when:
Your own works published by other Publishers and for which you did not retain copyright.
Substantial extracts from anyone's works or a series of works.
Use of Tables, Graphs, Charts, Schemes and Artworks if they are unaltered or slightly modified. Photographs for which you do not hold the copyright.
Permission is not required when:
Reconstruction of your own table with data already published elsewhere. Please notice that in this case, you must cite the data source as either "Data from..." or "Adapted from...".
Reasonably short quotes are considered fair use and therefore do not require permission but need referencing.
Graphs, Charts, Schemes and Artworks that are completely redrawn by the authors and significantly changed beyond recognition do not require permission.
The material is available under one of the Creative Commons licences which allow commercial reuse and suits the purpose for which you want to reuse the content.
When the permission is required, then you should submit the written evidence.
That all necessary permissions have been obtained by providing the actual written permission granted by the copyright owner.
Obtaining Permission
In order to avoid unnecessary delays in the publication process, you should start obtaining permissions as early as possible. If in any doubt about the copyright, apply for permission. European Journal of Inflammation cannot publish material from other publications without permission.
The copyright holder may give you instructions on the form of acknowledgement to be followed; otherwise, follow the style: "Reproduced with permission from [author], [book/journal title]; published by [publisher], [year]." at the end of the caption of the Table, Figure or Scheme.
Preprints
Authors may share their work ahead of submission to a peer-reviewed journal, as well as during the European Journal of Inflammation review process, on repositories or preprint servers (such as arXiv, PeerJ Preprints, OSF, and others), provided that the server imposes no restrictions upon the author's full copyright and re-use rights.
Conferences, Proceedings, and Abstracts
Manuscripts that first appeared as conference papers must be expanded with at least 25% new content if they are to be considered original work. Authors must add a substantial amount of original content in the form of new raw material (experiments, data) or new treatment of old data sets, which lead to original discussion and/or conclusions, providing value that significantly exceeds the original conference version.
- Seek permission to reuse the published conference paper if the author does not hold the copyright (proof of permission should be submitted as supplementary material or sent to the editorial office).
- Cite the conference in the references section if applicable.
