If your work is not going to be made public but is purely for an assignment (such as a PowerPoint presentation that is only available to classmates on LearnJCU or an essay that will only be viewed by your lecturer), follow the advice for Using visual works in assignments and class presentations
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 Notes 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. See the APA Blog's pages on Navigating Copyright for Reproduced Images for more information.
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:
Add the copyright statement. This could be one of the following:
If copyright permission has been given to use the image, include Reprinted with permission after the copyright statement.

Author, A. A. (Date). Title of book. Publisher. NB: You should seek permission from the copyright holder to republish images that are under copyright, and add "Reprinted with permission" at the end of the note if you have been granted permission. See page 250 of the Publication Manual. |
