The American Anthropological Association (AAA) is happy to accept requests to copy and reprint articles from its publications.
Journal Permissions
In effort to make the journal permissions process as easy and efficient as possible, the AAA has partnered with the Copyright Clearance Center to bring you Rightslink® on AnthroSource. Rightslink is an automated reprint and permissions service, which allows you to request and clear rights online.
With Rightslink, you can republish material from an AAA journal in the classroom, in a print or electronic course packet, in a library E-reserve, for distance learning, in conference/workshop materials, on a secured website, CD-ROM/DVD, or in a book, journal, newsletter, newspaper, brochure, or email. Simply
- Locate your desired content on AnthroSource
- Click the "Reprints & Permissions" link/icon to open a Rightslink window
- Create an account with Rightslink if you haven't already
- Select the way you wish to reuse the content
- Accept the terms and conditions* and submit your request.
As a contingency of republication, the AAA asks that you contact the author of the journal content for separate permission.
To order permission for AAA journal content not yet available on AnthroSource, please visit Copyright Clearance Center's website: www.copyright.com or call 978-646-8600 to speak to a representative.
Paper reprints are limited to content available electronically through AnthroSource.
Translations of Journal Articles
If you would like to translate an AAA journal article, please contact Michelle Sathan at Wiley-Blackwell
Public Domain in AAA Journals
Please note that AAA article content published before 1964 is in the public domain and may be used and copied without permission. The AAA asks only that you include a complete reference to the original publication and a link to AnthroSource.
Notice: Blackwell Publishing, Inc. administers permission for all journals of the American Anthropological Association, with the exception of Anthropology News, Anthro-at-Large (FOSAP), CyberOrient, North American Dialogue, SOLGAN, and Teaching Anthropology/SACC Notes. To request permission for any of these journals, please submit your requests to: permissions@aaanet.org.
Book Permissions
If you are an author/represent a publishing company who/which would like to include content originally published in an AAA book by another author in a reader, anthology, second serial, digest, syndication or non-book (dramatization, motion picture [sight and sound], radio, television or electronic recording), send a formal request to permissions@aaanet.org.
Please include:
- An exact citation (name of the article, author, volume and issue of the journal or book in which it appeared, page numbers)
- Your contact information, including your address and fax number (if possible).
- Publisher and publication in which the article is to appear, along with expected publication date.
Authors/publishing companies who/which submit permission requests will receive a contract that outlines the fee for the article, conditions of use and contact information for the author. Requesters are responsible for contacting authors and obtaining their permission to reprint the article.
Information for AAA Authors
Authors have standing permission to reproduce free of charge their past contributions to AAA publications in new books they are writing or editing. This provision is included in the contract signed by an author when he or she contributes to an AAA publication.
Fee Schedule for AAA Book Republication
- $30 for the first page or significant part thereof
- $18 for each additional page or significant part thereof.
Fees charged are divided equally between the AAA and the author of the article. The permissions contract gives an author the opportunity to waive his or her half of the fee; requesters are responsible for negotiating such a waiver with the author. Please understand that the AAA cannot waive its half of permission fees.
Please Note that the AAA no longer handles permission requests for The American Folklore Society, or its Journal of American Folklore.
