• Be sure you're searching by publication title, not article title. For example, search for "Wall Street Journal" if you need to reuse an article within the Wall Street Journal.
• Check the spelling of your search term(s).
• View our search tips for ways to optimize your search.
• If the title is in our catalog, but is "not covered" by your license, you may use the "Check Pay-per-use options" link, which allows you to review a summary of permissions that are available for the publication that you've selected. You may find that permission is available through our pay-per-use permission service.
• If you are not able to find a specific non-U.S. title or publisher, we may be authorized to provide permission even though it is not listed in our catalog. Review the countries for which we have general authorization.
• Place a Special Order and Copyright Clearance Center will work on your behalf to obtain permission. Additional fees will apply. Learn more about how Special Orders work.
• If you still can't find a title and would like us to add it to our catalog, contact us at info@copyright.com and provide the bibliographic information for the publication. We will research the publication to determine whether or not it can be added to our catalog for reuse under your license agreement.
