How to get permissions:

While JSTOR hosts scholarly book and journal content in its digital archive, it does not actually publish this content or have full rights to this material. So while we cannot grant these permissions (since they are not ours to give) we can point you towards who might be able to help you out. We recommend reaching out to the publisher or the journal or book in question for the permission information directly. A current list of our publishing partners can be found on our publisher partner page. If contact information is available, it can be found by following the publisher’s name link on that page.

Using the Copyright Clearance Center to Get Permission

Another way to seek permissions for content is through the Copyright Clearance Center. This option is available depending on if the publisher has opted to manage the permissions process this way.

Towards the bottom of any journal article, there is a link that says “Request Permissions.” From here you will be taken to the Copyright Clearance Center where you may have the option to purchase the rights to the article. If you click on the link to the Copyright Clearance Center, and you are not presented with purchasing options, then seeking permissions through the Copyright Clearance Center is not available and you will need to contact the publisher directly.
