Using figures taken from other sources

 

If you are including a figure from another source in your assignment, you need provide the source citation, copyright information, and permission if needed with the figure. If the work being credited is listed in the reference list, only a shortened form needs appear in the source citation, e.g. Source: Doyle and McCutcheon (2015).

  • Copy the figure exactly as found in the original source, unless you need to adapt it.
  • Number figures consecutively in Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, etc) as they appear in your assignment
  • Acknowledge the original source following the caption directly underneath the figure.
  • Captions should be capitalized in sentence style
  • Copyright holder may be the publisher or the author/s
  • While students don't usually require publisher permission to include figures in assignments, you should still include the copyright statement.

The following is an example of reprinting a figure from a book. For reusing figures from other sources, follow the citation pattern for that source

Adapting or changing the figure?

 In the caption under the figure change the source to  'Source: Adapted from' to show that you have changed the original (even in a small way). 

Where Creative Commons licences are involved (and allow adaptation), you should include a statement at the end that explains how you have change the material. Short and simple is OK here, it's more to show that the material has been changed.
