Hi Andre: simply ask the people who run the Website. Yes, indeed "obtain permission". In my experience most are very positive about getting featured in a scientific publication - I even had some deliver high resolution images of their site within hours. Another company featured my related research in their inhouse newsletter. Best --u At 10:22 Uhr -0500 1.9.2010, Andre Brock wrote:
For the first time in, well, ever I've been asked by a journal to obtain permission from a website to reproduce a screenshot of a webpage. Not, to be clear, of an image on the page - but of the page itself. I've been offered the option of removing the image and replacing it with a URL, but from an archival standpoint that's problematic. Webpages with dynamic content change all the time, not to mention that authors sometimes change formats/platforms, modify pages, or remove content that was included in the original analysis.
I don't want to miss the publishing deadline, but I need to know: "where dey do dat at?!?" (translation: since when did fair use guidelines get bent so badly in academic publishing?)
