If you are using information from a map, but not reproducing the map as an image or a figure, just use the advice below.
If you are reproducing the map in your work, you also need to check the information on our Images and Figures page.
- If the author not known, use the copyright owner of the map.
- If the author of the map is also the publisher, omit the publisher.
- Because dynamically created maps (e.g., Google Maps) do not have a title, describe the map in square brackets, and include a retrieval date.
