The Data Planet terms of use, available here, provide general guidelines for the use of data and infographics in Data Planet. The intent of the document is to prohibit commercial redistribution or repackaging of the data, duplicating or harvesting of the content, and creation of derivative products.
Access to Data Planet Statistical Datasets is provided by your library. The expectation is that faculty, staff, and/or students authorized to use Data Planet will indeed find data and create visualizations that will be included in the work and or research products developed. This type of usage is perfectly acceptable under the terms of use, provided that the data and visualizations provide attribution both to the source publisher of the data and to Data Planet. A formatted citation is included in the metadata that appears below the chart in the infographics you create (we call these DataSheets).
Data Planet asks that use be limited to 500 charts, tables, and/or data downloads per work product. For use over this limit, please contact onlinesupport@sagepub.co.uk to request permission. Your request should describe the use and distribution of the charts, tables, and/or data downloads.
