APA Style has further instructions on how you should work with images, tables and other illustrations in your text, see links below. It is important that you check instructions for the paper you are writing at your university.
You may check Examples in Reference List when you write a reference to an illustration.
Most illustrations are protected by copyright. When you reproduce a table or figure for your work you must obtain permission from the copyright holder. If you use a Creative Commons licensed image, cite according to CC citation rules. The license should be included in the corresponding figure note. If you do not reproduce the image, but you want to refer to it in your text, you should cite the original document according to APA rules.
Below you will find a template that you may use when you ask for permission. We recommend to send the request as a formal e-mail from your Chalmers account. Remember to include how and where your work is going to be published.
All figures (pictures, graphs, diagrams, etc.) must have a caption placed under the figure. Place the in-text citation for the original source after the caption for every table or figure that is not your own. See the example below.
