Image Rights – Use of Images and Content from Other Authors and Sources
If the article contains images, photos, tables, media files, brands, logos, protocols, codes, social media comments, etc., that were not created by the authors and co-authors, it is mandatory to provide the following documentation and information upon submission: • Indicate with proper proof whether the material is in the public domain or licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0; • Document written and signed authorization and permission from the material's owner to use and publish the content under an open access license (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0); • If the photo features a minor, the authorization must be provided by the legal guardian; • Images published in other media: books, conference proceedings, journals, either in print or electronic format, must also meet the above requirements.
The following will not be accepted for publication: • Images blurred to hide faces, brands, social media comments, etc., as this practice does not exempt us from potential infringements of non-licensed rights; • Purchased images cannot be published in our journals, as they are generally not open access; • Materials with licenses other than CC BY-NC-SA 4.0.
Before including an image or content in your article, reflect on the following points: • Was it created by me? • How will it add value to the content of the article I am submitting to the journal? • Without this content, would the article no longer contribute to the academic community? • Is the initial publication location in the public domain or clearly and transparently licensed? • Do I have the necessary proof to submit to the journal?
If the necessary authorization is not possible, we will request the removal or substitution of the content. Do not assume you have the right to use an image or content simply because you find it online, on search engines or social media, unless explicit usage rights are provided. It is the responsibility of the authors and co-authors to ensure they have the legal right to use the material before submitting it to the journal. The RIAE Journal team reserves the right and responsibility to remove any image, photo, table, media file, brand, screenshot, logo, protocol, code, or other content before or after publication if it is determined that the authors and co-authors have not satisfactorily proven the legal right of use within the public domain or under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.

It is important to check whether the authorization should be given by an author or institution. It is the responsibility of the authors and co-authors to conduct this research, but we are available to clarify any doubts that may arise.
