Permission for Reproduction and Photocopying

Update: 2007/3/24

Authors may make copies of their own papers in this journal without seeking permission from the editorial office, provided that such copies are for free distribution only: they must not be sold.

Authors may reuse their own illustrations in other publications appearing under their own name without seeking permission, provided that the material is properly acknowledged; permission to reproduce material from JPS in other publications will not generally be given to third parties except with the consent of the author(s) concerned.

Obtaining permission is not required for photocopying material in the following circumstances:

  1. For private study, provided the copying is done by the person requiring its use, or by an employee of the institution to which he/she belongs, without charge beyond the actual cost of copying.
  2. For the production of multiple copies of such material, to be used for bona fide educational purposes, provided this is done by a member of the staff of the university, school, or other comparable institution, for distribution without profit to student members of that institution, and provided the copy is made from the original journal. For all other matters relating to the reproduction of copyright material, a written application must be made to the Society.

Permissions to reproduce materials (i.e., figures or tables, as is or being modified) from the articles in JPS are obtained from the Society. Send an email or fax the Society, quoting the source and a description of the publication in which the materials are reproduced. Normally the applications are granted without fees.
