How to Obtain Permission
To Use AJPH Content
And Other APHA Materials

PLEASE NOTE: photocopying of APHA copyrighted material for other than personal or internal reference use without the expressed permission of APHA is prohibited. Reprints or Eprints must be purchased if you intend to distribute copies of an AJPH article or other APHA publication

Requests for special permission to include APHA copyrighted material in another publication should be made in writing and sent to:

Requests should include the following information:

1. The specific material you wish to reprint:
   · For journal articles, include the volume, issue number, title, author(s), and pages (and specific figure or table, if applicable)
   · For books, include the title, author(s), chapter, and specific page numbers
   
2. Whether the person requesting permission to reprint material is the author of the material to be reprinted;
   
3. The purpose for which the material will be reprinted (e.g., reprinted in full in a new book or journal article, used for a seminar, etc.; see below if material is to be used as part of course materials);
   
4. Information about the organization for which the material will be reprinted, particularly whether it is a for-profit or non-profit organization.

Processing time for requests is generally less than a week, but may be longer in the late summer and early autumn months when APHA is busy with Annual Meeting preparations.

APHA charges a fee if its material will be used for advertising or promotional purposes, for use in a new or revised commercial publication, or for creating new collective works. APHA will consider waiving this fee if material will be used in a thesis or for other noncommercial purposes. We do not charge a fee for the use of abstracts.
