How do I obtain permission to reuse content published in an ebook by IOP?
Ebooks Permissions
IOP Publishing has partnered with PLSclear to handle permissions requests for the majority of our ebooks. For detailed information on permissions relating to IOP owned Ebooks please refer to the following pages:
What if I want to reuse content from one of IOP Publishing’s archived titles?
Some of our archived titles are journals which have ceased publication, where others may have been sold or may have moved with a partner to another publisher.
If you are wishing to reuse content from an archived title please email your request to permissions@ioppublishing.org where our Rights and Permissions team will be able to provide you with more specific information on how you may request permission.
Funding declarations
IOP Publishing requires all authors to declare any funding they received related to the research article they are submitting for publication.
When you submit your paper, you will be asked to provide information on all funders associated with your work in the section called ‘Policies & Information’. It is important that you enter this information to comply with funder publication policies and to enable our editors to assess any conflicts of interest.
The funding information you provide in the online submission system must match any funders you intend to list in the acknowledgments section of your article.
When asked about funding in the online submission system, please start to write the name of your funder and then select the relevant funder from the list that appears. Please only write the full name of your funder manually if you do not see your funder in the list. Please provide grant numbers for all the funders you acknowledge.
You must ensure you obtain any necessary permissions from your funder(s) before submitting your article.
Reviewer report form: description of scientific rigour
Is the article scientifically correct and robust? Are the methods and results presented in a reproducible way and appropriately analysed to support the conclusions?
Reviewer report form: quality rating descriptions
Originality: A measure of the novelty of the ideas, techniques and results reported in the manuscript compared to the existing literature.
Scientific rigour: A measure of how well the experiment has been carried out; whether all necessary details of the method and results are presented in a way that they can be reproduced; and whether the results have been appropriately analysed and discussed. (This includes the testability of any theoretical predictions or modelling.)
Significance: A measure of the importance and likely impact of the work within the article’s field.
Clarity: A measure of how clearly the authors have written the article and presented the information.
Can I have an extension?
You can always contact us to request an extension, whether you’re submitting an article or reviewing for us. We appreciate these things can take time and we’ll be flexible wherever we can!
