Image Use and Reuse
Do you want to use images in your books or articles?
Academic writing is not always writing! Pictures and media enliven our writing, and can be important for showing concepts and contexts.
If you create or commission original photographs, diagrams, or artwork, you own the intellectual property and can freely use the images in your publications or presentations. However, if you find images online, in other publications, or in image databases, you need to get permission to use them in your own work. In either case, you need to consider the quality of the image, and ways to submit it with the manuscript.
These two webinars from Sage’s How to Do Research and Get Published series can help you consider image integrity, and obtain the appropriate permissions for use of images in publications and presentations.
Image Integrity
Hosted by Sage’s Elaine Ellerton, Adya Misra, and Jessica Offenberger and featuring a Q&A session with two prestigious researchers and editors in their field of study, Dr. Grant Maxie and Dr. Paco Uzal, the webinar provides essential guidance for anyone hoping to get published in an academic journal.
Copyright, Permissions, and Author Reuse
Hosted by Sage’s Sean Scarisbrick, Adya Misra, and Jessica Offenberger discuss how authors can ensure that their research is conducted in an ethical manner and how to uphold research integrity. Topics will include how to determine which ethical approvals need to be secured, if any, and how to write any necessary ethical statements.

Typically, interviewers are accustomed to using words: we ask questions, we prompt follow-up responses, but the same principles of visual communication are true for research exchanges. Find tips and examples in this post.
Images contain information absent in text, and this extra information presents opportunities and challenges. It is an opportunity because one image can document variables with which text sources (newspaper articles, speeches or legislative documents) struggle or on datasets too large to feasibly code manually. Learn how to overcome the challenges.
