Permission requests
If you wish to reproduce excerpts from a Cambridge book or journal (text extracts, figures, etc.) in another publication you should submit your request in writing by completing the Permission Request Form and sending it by facsimile, conventional mail or email to the appropriate contact address listed below.
Cambridge University Press grants permission freely for the reproduction in another work of a short prose extract (less than 400 words), a single figure or a single table in which it holds rights (see the important caveat in the Notes below). In such cases a request for permission need not be submitted, but the reproduced material must be accompanied by a full citation of the original source.
If you wish to photocopy excerpts from a Cambridge book or journal, refer to Educational photocopying requests unless your request falls outside the usage permitted under licence by the appropriate Reprographic Rights Organisation. If so, you should submit your request in writing by completing the Photocopy Request Form and sending it by facsimile, conventional mail or email to the appropriate contact and address listed below.

Notes
If you are not sure whether Cambridge University Press is the publisher of the relevant book or journal, check our catalogue for in print titles, but bear in mind that out-of-print titles in which Cambridge holds rights will not be listed there.
Note also that Cambridge University Press may not be able to grant permission for the use of all the material it publishes. In particular, illustrations, tables, poetry or other extensive quotations included in Cambridge publications may have been reproduced by Cambridge with the permission of another rightsholder. Always check the caption or citation to ensure that Cambridge is the rightsholder before proceeding.
In the case of some journals published by Cambridge on behalf of a learned society, permission may need to be obtained directly from the society. Check the cover of the journal before proceeding.
