There are several figures I’d like to use in a manuscript being submitted to a Sage journal this Spring. One of them I am looking to adapt, not just reuse. The article with this figure has a Rightslink to request permission, but I’m struggling with some of the fields – for example, the form asks for intended circulation count, but if I’m submitting my article to a journal, not just printing it myself, how am I supposed to know this number? Especially if it includes both print and online.
Additionally, I don’t see any space to specifically request to adapt the figure. Also, is there any way around having to pay to reproduce figures? Any advice is welcome – thanks!
