Traditional Publication in Scholarly Journals
Over the past 40+ years as I have prepared articles for publication in, for example, The Astrophysical Journal, I have willingly followed the scientific community's established copyright rules, such as:
- If you want to reprint a Figure from a previously published article, you must secure permission to reprint the Figure from the author of that published article.
- You may include in your article the result of a mathematical derivation that appears in a previously published scholarly article if you give credit where credit is due. That is, if you explicitly cite the article (and, usually, the attending equation number) where the previous derivation was carried out.
Posting a Scholarly, MediaWiki-Based Article
As I have been developing a group of scholarly, MediaWiki-based chapters under the aggregate title of, "The Structure, Stability, & Dynamics of Self-Gravitating Fluids," I have attempted to continue to work within the professional community's adopted set of "reprint permissions" guidelines. But, in the modern/digital world, the detailed requirements are not always clear. I'll focus here on one specific example.
In one of my online chapters, I heavily reference the Blaes (1985) paper titled, "Oscillations of Slender Tori."
