Obtain electronic permissions through Rightslink
RightsLink is a service that provides licenses for the reproduction and distribution of IEEE copyrighted material in print and electronic formats on behalf of the IEEE. Rightslink offers users the opportunity to obtain near-instant rights to reuse IEEE-copyrighted material in books, journals, magazines, newsletters, CD- or DVD-ROMs, brochures/pamphlets, coursepacks and classrooms.
This service is quickly accessed directly through IEEE Xplore. With RightsLink, you will be able to:
- Establish an account
- Get online permissions
- Obtain instant price quotes
- Receive email confirmation
- Have the ability to track your order
- View your account information
Getting started
Once you have found the article of interest to you, click on the “Request Permissions” link located under the bibliographic information provided. In doing so, you will be directed to the RightsLink reuse licensing service.
Here you can choose your permission requirements from a menu of drop down choices, and you can receive an immediate price quote. Users also have the ability to obtain a license to translate IEEE’s articles into the language of your choice, and be able to purchase your licenses from a menu of four currencies.
