Do I need permission to link to articles?

Permission is not required to link to any article or page on our site so long as you do not state or imply any sponsorship of your site or product by EPE. This includes linking from websites, social media, newsletters, listservs, and emails. Our policy is to allow others to post a link and up to two paragraphs of any article on our website. For example, it would look something like this:

Vision, Reality Collide in Common-Core Tests - Education Week
In states across the country, field-testing of the exams that will measure students' mastery of the Common Core State Standards is well underway. Much attention is focusing on the questions that this "testing of the test" will inevitably raise about bandwidth, access for special populations, and standard-setting.

How do I obtain permission to use content?

Who grants permission for content reuse depends on the type of content and how you plan to use it. (See Table.)

If the content you wish to use was not created by an EPE staff writer (it is credited to a content partner such as Hechinger or is a Commentary or opinion piece), it is likely that EPE does not own the rights to it. To obtain permission to use this content, please contact the author or content partner. If you have trouble finding contact information for an opinion author or are unsure if the content you wish to use is owned by EPE, please contact the library.

If you wish to print a copy of an article for your own personal, non-commercial use, you can use the "Printer Friendly" button located at the beginning of the article on the right under "Article Tools." Please do not print out or make more than 5 copies of an article. Do not print out or make more than one copy of Edweek Market Brief content.
(Back to top.)

May I use the full text of an article?

Other than a limited number of photocopies (see here), you may not reproduce the full-text of an article in any format without permission. You may not email the full text of an article without a license to do so. This includes, but is not limited to, screenshots, embedded PDFs, links to PDFs or document formats of articles, or copied and pasted text. You may print out a copy for non-commercial, personal use.
If you wish to use the full text of an article, please view the table titled Who to Contact.
