Republishing guidelines

Unless you have express permission from CREST and the author, you can’t edit our material, except to reflect relative changes in time, location and editorial style. (For example, “yesterday” can be changed to “last week,” and “UK” to “United Kingdom” or “here”). If you need to materially edit our content, please contact us.
You have to credit our authors and partner institutions — ideally in the byline. We prefer “Author Name, Institution”.
You have to credit CREST — ideally at the top of the article and include our logo — with a link back to either our home page or (preferably) the specific content URL on our website.
If space is tight, you can run the first few lines of the content and then say: “Read it in full on the CREST website” with a link back to the content page on our site.
It is permissible to put our articles on pages with ads, but you can’t sell our material separately.
Please note that not all images on the website are included in this licence. Some images are subject to separate licence terms that prevent them from being republished. You can, however, reproduce images produced by CREST which include the CC BY-SA 4.0 licence, clearly stated on the page under 'Copyright Information'. You can find the majority of CREST images at https://www.flickr.com/people/crestresearch/.
You can republish individual content, but you can’t systematically republish all of our content. If that’s your aim, please contact us.
Our articles are licensed under Creative Commons 4.0 — Attribution/Non-Commercial/Share-Alike. The link explains the legal details. If you have questions, please contact us.

Images

Most of our images are on Flickr. All our artwork on Flickr is under the same licence as all our blogs, guides, and other resources on this website. The Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 licence means you can republish our content and imagery online or in print for free. However, as with all CC-licensed materials the condition for free use is attribution.

This means in order to republish our work or images you have to credit us and link to us (if used online). Please note, you cannot edit our material or sell it separately, see our copyright page for more details.

How to attribute images

Add a caption to image(s), as this provides the easiest way for others to see where you have taken the image from, giving full credit to the author(s).

The ideal attribution for any image is to give the title, author, source, and licence of the image. For example:

The majority of the CREST illustrations are created by Rebecca Stevens, but the correct copyright attribution, along with the title is available in the details of every image on Flickr.
If the title is unknown, then the attribution of: ‘Copyright ©YEAR R. Stevens / CREST (CC BY-SA 4.0)’ or similar will do just fine.
If the image is used online, then a link back to URL of the Flickr page or CREST page that you found it on would be best practice, although a link back to simply www.crestresearch.ac.uk would also suffice.

Contact [email protected] if you have any questions.
