Usually, they got a “Yeah, sure, go ahead,” and that was the end of things.

Today, we use the RightsLink(R) Copyright Clearance Center. Find the article’s online abstract, and click on the Request Permissions link on the upper right. A menu will pop up to ask you a series of questions. For an academic wanting to reproduce a JAWRA figure in another journal, costs should typically be zero. Agree to the license and there you go!

It’s a few more hoops to jump through, but it keeps everything above board. JAWRA’s policy is to scrupulously respect the letter and spirit of copyright law, and we expect the same of other journals. So, follow the procedures and your own administrators and editors will smile benignly rather than ask embarrassing questions.
