Guide to the Harvard Referencing Style, as used by Australian Government bodies

Publishing images

If you are using images in your work that will be available to the public (for example, a thesis, journal article, book or web page), then you also need to include a copyright attribution statement in full in the Source section underneath the image. 

You may also need to include a copyright statement. Unless the image is in the public domain or under creative commons copyright it is your responsibility to ensure that you have permissions to be able to publish any images that you did not create yourself.

The copyright statement is placed underneath the image in the position where the in text citation would normally be and the reference should be included in the reference list as usual. 

How to include copyright attributions for published images:

  1. In the caption below the figure add the word Note: (in italics).
  2. Add any descriptive notes about the table (if required).
  3. Add the word From if the image is an exact copy or use Adapted from if the image was altered. E.g. Note. From [or Adapted from] Title of work by authors, date, source details. Copyright year by copyright holder.
  4. Add the citation in the format - Title, by author, from source details
  5. Add the copyright statement. This could be one of the following:

    • Copyright year by copyright holder.  Copyright holders are usually the authors (open access copyright) or publishers (traditional copyright).
    • In the public domain - e.g. copyright expired or no copyright applies e.g. US Government works
    • Creative Commons licence - e.g. CC BY-NC-ND.
  6. ​If copyright permission has been given to use the image, include Reprinted with permission after the copyright statement.
