Using 3rd Party Materials:

Third-party content is defined as any material within the manuscript that is not your original work or material that you have created yourself and published elsewhere in your manuscript. Third party content may consist of text passages, figures, photos, screenshots, etc. and be found in many places such as, but not limited to, the Internet, print and online books and articles, theses, annual reports, conference material, photocopies, course packages, and translations. In particular, you should pay close attention to sensitive images containing identifiable persons, logos, brands/trademarks, images from agencies, or from the Internet as well as text content and references to commercial entities.

To obtain permission to use third-party material in the manuscript visit the Rights Holder website or Copyright Clearance Center Marketplace. If the material is not found, please exert your best efforts to use Permissions Request Form and/or Release Request Form for your request. If the rights-holder issues their own form, please ensure that the document they provide includes all Required Rights listed in the ‘Guide to Obtaining Permissions’ section in Springer Nature Third Party Permissions Guidelines.
