Suppose I publish an article in an academic journal. Afterward I want to
make a book containing (among other) materials from this article (almost a
literal copy).
Am I allowed to do this without an explicit approval from the journal?

In the life sciences the authors agree to assign the copyrights to the

journal. You would need the journal's permission to use anything more
than a short quote. Such permission is commonly asked for and given in
writing. I've never heard of anyone being refused such permission.
Good luck,

It would depend on the terms of your publication for that journal. For

example, if you sold the rights to that article to the journal
(copyright) then you can't publish without specific permission. If the
copyright remained with you and the publication only had the rights to
tha single time publication, then you are free to use it as you see fit.
Read the contract you signed with the journal for your answer.

It entirely depends on your agreement with the journal. If you

assigned all rights (rarely a good idea), you need to get them back
from the journal. If you only assigned serial rights or some other
non-exclusive license that doesn't include book rights, you don't.

No one will be able even to begin probably meaningfully to guess much

less dependably advise unless/until you have answered at least these
two questions:
1. Noting both (a) that the email address you associate with
your name above suggests Russia but that you do not clearly post
information that answers this question and that you post to a mostly
U.S. oriented news group and (b) that principles and likely real world
consequences of copyright and related law (and also of institutional
academic ethical standards of what is/isn't likely to be "allowed" in
not law formal ways) can vary considerably from one part of the world
to another, where is the academic journal in question published and
mostly distributed?
2. When you submitted the article to that journal and that
journal's publisher accepted it for publication, to what if any extent
did you (a) transfer copyright to the publisher or someone or to some
entity on that person's or firm's behalf and/or (b) retain copyright
therein for yourself?

Depends. What does your agreement with the journal say?

your copyright unrestricted, then you don't need anyone's approval.
If you don't remember what you signed, why don't you ask them?
