Using prior maps/ charts in publication?
Posted: Mon Nov 07, 2022 4:01 pm
Is there any reason I can't publish a paper inclusive of maps or charts that appeared in prior publications, so long as I cite the source?
Obviously, I can quote from prior papers, it's done all the time. But I can't think of a single published paper that "re-used" an image (maps or charts) from a previous paper.
Specifically, I want to contrast two recent emergence bar charts with two that have previously been published in the 1980s. It would be far more expressive to have all four charts in a row, than my two charts and just a reference to the past charts.
Thanks!
