Q: When writing a paper to quote data and figures from other people's papers, do you need the consent of the author or the publisher? How? Thank you very much. I also want to know. If you know anything downstairs, please answer amethyst70. Does anyone know how to deal with it? Thank you! Sandy03 (contact station TA) I also want to know. . . . . Hyw 166_0 (sTAtion conTAct ta) I have an article about redrawing a similar map, and then quote the original post of amethyst 70 (station contact ta) on July 816: 04, 2009: You draw a similar data, and the map is his. Then, this is the way to give files. You don't need to agree because the data is open: mad:tibetnamco (in-station contact ta) paper publishing is an academic exchange, and generally there is no need for this process of asking for consent. As long as the reference is correctly marked. However, when publishing a book (that is, it may involve economic benefits, because the book has a fee), according to international practice, the author or publishing society unconditionally agrees with your quotation, especially when you write textbooks or academic monographs. Of course, in China, this kind of copyright transfer procedure is almost useless. Foreigners are not surprised, unless it involves technology or industry. If it's serious, you can still go to court.
