Attributing CC-Licensed Images

TASL: Best practice attribution to provide credit to work you are re-using:

T= Title

A=Author (provide link)

S=Source (provide link)

L=License (link to the CC license deed)

Each element is needed in order to ensure that you always give credit to original authors for their work. If you do not have all of the information, do the best you can with the information that is provided. Version 4.0 of licenses does not require you users to include the title of the original work. However, it is best practice to include the title anyway if it is provided.

Example of Best Practice Attribution:

the Earth"Earth" by Kevin M. Gill is licensed under CC BY 2.0

 

 

 

 

 

Citing Images in APA

To cite images in APA format, follow this template: 

Image creator’s Last name, First initial. Middle initial. (Year published). Title of image [Photograph, Cartoon, Painting, etc.]. Retrieved from URL. 

Example: 

[Photograph of Franklin D. Roosevelt at his desk] (2017). Retrieved from https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2017/04/25/the-white-house-boo-boo-in-counting-roosevelts-executive-orders/?utm_term=.06cac0ac12e5

Notes: 

In APA, if the image does not have a formal title, describe the image and place the description in brackets.
If the author AND the title of the image are both missing, create a description, place it in brackets, and include the year and the URL (see the example above)
In APA, do not place a period at the end of the URL
