Permission will be granted by one signatory publisher to another free of charge to:

Use up to three figures (including tables) from a journal article or book chapter, but:
not more than five figures from a whole book or journal issue/edition;
not more than six figures from an annual journal volume;
not more than three figures from works published by a single publisher for an article;
not more than three figures from works published by a single publisher for a book chapter; and in total not more than thirty figures from a single publisher for republication in a book, including a multi-volume book.
Single text extracts of less than 400 words from a journal article or book chapter, but:
not more than a total of 800 words from a whole book or journal issue/edition.

Permission automatically includes re-use for electronic versions of the work as well as for subsequent editions and translations, except as outlined on the STM website. When granting permissions, STM publishers will not request a complimentary copy of the new work except in limited circumstances. For further information on STM Guidelines please visit the here.
