Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ How to properly tell reference of figure?

[poobear]

Hi,

I'm trying to write a scientific report that will look like a review article. I have taken figures from other articles and want to tell the source of the figures in their captions. However, as all scientific articles make their own figures, I havn't been able to see how to do this properly.

I thought of (Fig. ref[x]) where x is the generated number in the bibliography, but I don't know whether this is standard or not.

Has anyone seen articles use figures from other articles and how they cited the figures?

Thanks

It is usual to reference figures taken from other source. You might have

Figure X. Diagram of the design of YYY (1).

with a simple citation, or might need to formally state you've reproduced it

Figure X. Diagram of the design of YYY (Reproduced from 1, copyright Original Publisher, 2010).

On the other hand, if you redraw something then

Figure X. Diagram of the design of YYY (adapted from 1).

is more usual.

Thanks!

edit: I guess it was "In case one of the suggested solutions works it is good to say which one" in section 3 that I missed. What I ended up using was the first one

Figure X. Diagram of the design of YYY (1).
