Copyright is the property right of creators of ‘original works of authorship’, for example, literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works and includes the following exclusive rights:
Because the copyright holder retains these exclusive rights, individuals wishing to use portions of copyrighted material in any number of ways (for example, in books they are writing) may need to request permission from the copyright owner. By securing these exclusive rights for creators, copyright provides a direct incentive for authors to create new works. |

|
Authorisation to make a copy of material protected by copyright. Some examples of common reuses are republishing such material in another work or making and distributing photocopies of such material. |
|
| When do I need to request permission? When your use of copyright protected material exceeds the limits of ‘fair use’ or ‘fair dealing’. In the case of republication of copyright protected material in a work you are writing, you should consult your publisher for its ‘fair use’ or ‘fair dealing’ guidelines. In the case of photocopying for academic use, you should consult your university or institution for guidance on what is permitted under its ‘fair use’ or ‘fair dealing’ guidelines or under the Statutory Licence provisions of the Copyright Act administered by Copyright Agency Ltd (CAL). |
|
| What is ‘fair use’ in Australia? The concept of fair use is applicable in the Australian Copyright Act and is technically known as fair dealing. These are exceptions to infringement which allow some uses of copyright material without permission or payment. These exceptions include: Fair dealing for the purpose of research or study, which allows a student or researcher to copy protected material. Copying 10% or one chapter of a published literary, dramatic or musical work, or one article from a periodical, is deemed to be fair. Fair dealing for the purpose of criticism or review. This exception allows reviewers to make fair use of copyright material provided they acknowledge the work. Statutory licences which allow educational institutions, institutions assisting people with disabilities, and Federal, State and Territory governments to copy protected material for defined purposes, without the need to obtain the copyright owner’s permission. |
|
| How long does it take to receive permission? It generally takes 4 weeks to process photocopying requests and 10–12 weeks to process republication requests. If your deadline is sooner, please notify us and we will try to accommodate your needs. |
|
| To which Wiley office should I apply for permission? Wiley has offices in the following countries:
If you know which location published the work you’re interested in, it may be faster to contact that office directly. However, be assured that requests received by any Wiley office are promptly forwarded to the appropriate location. |
|
| I’m not sure you are the publisher of the work for which I need permission. Are there any other imprints which Wiley publishes? Yes. As of January, 1998, some of the companies Wiley has acquired or from which Wiley has acquired publishing lists are: Alan R. Liss, Inc., Ginn/Blaisdell (formerly a division of Xerox Corporation), St. Clair Press, Grid Publishing, Inc., Warren, Gorham, & Lamont, Inc., Executive Enterprises, Inc., PESI /James Publishing Company, Oliver Wight, Preservation Press, QED Information Services, Ronald Press, VCH Publishing, Inc., Ernst & Sohn GmbH, Chemical Concepts GmbH, Physik Verlag GmbH, Verlag Chemice GmbH, Vlgsservice Sudwest GmbH, Lyda Associates, Inc., Van Nostrand Reinhold and Clinical Psychology Publishing Company. Wiley’s imprints are Wiley Interscience, Wiley-Liss, Inc., Preservation Press, Halstead Press, VCH Publishing, Inc. |
|
| Do I also need permission from the authors? Unless the permission grant we send to you states that you need the author’s approval, you are not required also to seek the author’s permission. This information may appear on the masthead of the journal. In some instances, Wiley must obtain an author’s approval before granting permission, but contacting the author will be handled by our Permissions department. In some cases, Wiley may have reverted rights to an author. In such cases, we will indicate that you do need to contact the author. |
|
| The permission grant I received from you says I should state the name of the copyright owner in my credit. How do I know who the copyright owner is? The copyright owner is the company or person whose name appears in the copyright notice. You will find this information on the copyright page of the work. For books this is generally the page following the title page. For journals this information is on the same page as the masthead. |
|
| Has Wiley licensed its titles to the Copyright Clearance Center in the US? Yes. Most of our journals and many of our book titles are licensed to the CCC. |
|
| Has Wiley licensed its titles to the Copyright Licensing Agency in the UK? Yes. All of our journal and book titles are licensed to the CLA. |
|
| Has Wiley licensed its titles to CanCopy in Canada? Yes. |
|
| Has Wiley licensed its titles to Copyright Agency Ltd (CAL) in Australia? Yes. |
|
| What if the material I wish to use in the Wiley work has a credit to another source? If material in one of our works is credited to another source, you must apply directly to that source, unless the credit notice indicates that Wiley adapted the material, in which case you must apply to both Wiley and the original source for permission. |
|
| What does ‘material credited to another source’ mean? The material is not original to our work. We received permission from the copyright owner to include the material in our work. |
|
| If I paraphrase, do I need to credit the source and/or request permission? If you paraphrase material, you are still required to credit the original source. If your paraphrasing exceeds the limits of ‘fair use’ or ‘fair dealing’, you must request permission. Paraphrasing is not a way to bypass copyright protection. |
|
| If I redraw a figure do I need to credit the source and/or request permission? If you redraw a figure, you have created an adapted version of the original figure. You are still required to credit the original source. If the figure or figures you are redrawing exceed the limits of ‘fair use’, you must request permission from the original source. Redrawing is not a way to bypass copyright protection. |
|
| Are your photocopying fees a flat rate or do you charge per page? When Wiley grants photocopying permission, we give a total fee, based on the total number of copies requested, and a per copy fee, based on the cost of an individual set of copies. You are required to pay only for the actual number of copies used. |
|
| Do you provide individual copies of book chapters or journal articles? Wiley does not have a service to provide individual copies of chapters or articles. Our Reprints department in New York can provide reprints of chapters or articles for orders of 300 copies or more. If you wish reprints for a journal published by Wiley USA please contact Craig Woods at cwoods@wiley.com. If you wish reprints for a journal published by Wiley UK please contact Bob Kern. |
|
| Do you provide camera-ready artwork? Wiley does not provide such a service. |
|
| When a book is out of print, does that mean it is no longer copyright protected? No. The term of copyright is not determined by the publication status of a work. You must request permission to use material from out-of-print books if the use exceeds the limits of ‘fair use’ or ’fair dealing’. |
|
| Is there a percentage of a copyright protected work which I can photocopy for educational purposes without requesting formal permission? The Copyright Act includes Statutory Licences allowing educational institutions and institutions assisting people with disabilities to copy protected material for defined purposes, without the need to obtain the copyright owner’s permission. Institutions wishing to use the Statutory Licence are required to provide records of copying and payment of that copying to a collecting society approved by the Federal Attorney-General. CAL is the collecting society approved by the Federal Attorney-General to administer the Statutory Licences for educational institutions and for institutions assisting people with disabilities, for all works other than works included in sound recordings or films. For these Statutory Licence schemes, CAL represents all copyright owners, except for owners of works included in sound recordings or films, whether or not they are members of CAL. Under the Statutory Licence, eligible educational institutions that undertake to pay equitable remuneration to CAL can copy from copyright works, within limits, for educational purposes. Universities, TAFE institutes, schools and a number of other educational institutions currently copy, and pay CAL for their copying, under this licence. The Copyright Act allows eligible institutions that assist readers with disabilities to make sound recordings, braille, large print or photographic versions of works for specified purposes. Likewise, the Act also allows eligible institutions that assist people with intellectual disabilities to copy published works for specified purposes. To copy under these licences, institutions must undertake to pay equitable remuneration to CAL. At the moment CAL does not charge a fee for copying under these licences. The Copyright Act also allows government departments and agencies to copy for the services of the Crown. CAL has copying agreements with the Australian Federal, State and Territory governments that require payment for facsimile and photocopying of CAL members’ works by participating departments and agencies. |
|
| If I am the author or co-author of a work (i.e., book, book chapter, journal article, etc.), do I need to request permission to reuse material from my book? The answer depends on your agreement with your publisher, which you should consult. In general, most book authors and contributors would have to request permission in any case that exceeds the limits of ‘fair use’ or ‘fair dealing’. If you have contributed to a Wiley journal, you or your institution have reserved certain rights under your agreement. |
|
| I previously photocopied this material with permission. Do I need permission again for this semester? If you copied the material under the statutory licence that your educational institution enjoys with CAL then you need not seek permission. If, however, you copied the material with permission from Wiley previously then you do need to seek permission again. Most publishers grant permission for a particular academic term. However, we offer some educational users longer periods under specific conditions. If you have questions regarding the terms of your previous Wiley permissions licence, please contact our Permissions Department. |
|
| What if I need permission before your set turnaround times? Please always advise us of your deadline and we will try to meet it. Urgent situations can always be accommodated. There are many factors that add time to the permissions process, but the main factor is simply the volume of requests that our small staff receives. We suggest you submit your request as early as possible. |
|
| If I can’t contact the current copyright owner, can I still use the material? A copyright protected work may change ownership many times during its term of copyright. For example, the work may have been sold by one publisher to another, the rights may have reverted to the author, or a deceased author may have bequeathed his literary works to his or her heirs. You should keep a record of all attempts you have made to locate the current copyright owner. Then, you should consult your university, institution, or publisher regarding use of the copyright protected material under such circumstances. |
