Best Practices for Attribution practices_for_attribution practices_for_attribution

Title, Author, Source, Licence Title - What is the name of the material? If a title was provided for the material, include it. Author - Who owns the material? Name the author or authors of the material in question. Sometimes, the licensor may want you to give credit to some other entity, like a company or pseudonym. In all cases, just do what they request.

Title, Author, Source, License Source - Where can I find it? Since you somehow accessed the material, you know where to find it. Provide the source of the material so others can, too; this is usually a URL or hyperlink to where the material resides. License - How can I use it? You are obviously using the material for free thanks to the CC license, so make note of it. Don't just say the material is Creative Commons, because that says nothing about how the material can actually be used. Name and provide a link to it, e.g. for CC BY. If the licensor included a license notice with more information, include that as well.
