Referencing a Figure

 

When you use a figure in your paper that has been adapted or copied directly from another source, you need to reference the original source.  This reference appears as a caption underneath the figure that you copied or adapted for your paper.

Any image that is reproduced from another source also needs to come with copyright permission; it is not enough just to cite the source.

 

General Format 1 (Figure from a Book):

    Caption under Figure

    Note: Descriptive phrase. Reprinted [or adapted]

     from Book Title (page number), by Author First Initial. Second Initial. Surname,

     Year, Publisher. Copyright [Year] by the Name of Copyright Holder.

     Reprinted [or adapted] with permission.

 

General Format 2 (Figure from a Journal Article):
