Image copyright information

[Holly Palmeri]

Hello!

I'm assisting the author of a new cognitive science textbook by finding copyright information for the figures he intends to reprint in the book. One of the images was published in Nature, so I initially reached out to them for permission to reuse the image. However, the image caption indicates that the image was created using Cytoscape, and some rendering services retain commercial rights for the reuse of content. Springer Nature requested clarification on whether Cytoscape holds any rights to the images rendered using its software. 

If anyone has knowledge about this, I would appreciate your insight. Thank you! 

Best,

Holly Palmeri

I think not. We published a graph theory article many years ago. They did not retain rights then.

However, they have very specific instructions on how to reference them in the text and refs.

I recall looking it up on their website at cytoscape. Org which likely has a section on this.

If you used a cytoscape app such as ntworkanalyzer or a layout app you may need to check their requirements too.
