Authors retain the right to reproduce their own material in any form free of charge, including in any publication for which they serve as editor or author. Written permission is required and ASA's copyright credit must be included.

In any reproduction of copyrighted material, the text must be reprinted exactly as originally published, and any extract from a longer work must be identified as such.

Educational/Nonprofit Use

1. Articles may be reproduced for classroom or reserve library use, password-protected online-learning courses, or other nonprofit, educational use at no charge if the number of copies does not exceed 100 or if no more than 100 people will be viewing an electronic version of the article. Written permission from ASA is required. 
2. Permission to reprint more than 100 copies of any article requires the following payment to ASA, in addition to written permission.

   101 to 200 copies	$25 per article
   201 to 300 copies	$30 per article
   301 to 400 copies	$40 per article

License to make between 50 and 100 copies costs $5 an article, and license to make over 100, $10 an article. Written permission from ASA is required.
