Licences and attribution

Where the content comes from, under which licence it is distributed, and what may be done with it. Every article repeats the same declaration at the foot of its own page.

The source work

Part of the entries published here is the Italian translation of somebody else’s work, not a text written for this portal. The work is:

Title
Illustrated Encyclopedia of Human Anatomic Variation: Opus I: Muscular System
Authors
Ronald A. Bergman, Adel K. Afifi, Ryosuke Miyauchi
Editors
Michael P. D’Alessandro, Ronald A. Bergman
Published on
Anatomy Atlases
Original language
English
Licence of the work
CC BY-NC-SA 4.0

This is not an authorised import: nobody granted us an individual permission. It is a translation allowed by the public licence under which the work is distributed, and it must be declared for what it is.

What CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 requires

  • Attribution — authors, title of the work, licence and the changes made must be stated. That is what this page does, and it is repeated on the page of every translated entry.
  • Non-commercial use — the work and its translations may not be exploited for commercial purposes.
  • Share alike — every derivative work, translation included, carries the same licence as the original. This is not an editorial preference: at publication time the portal refuses any other licence for content derived from this work.

What was changed

  • The English text was translated into Italian. The English version of each entry keeps the original, so the translation stays comparable without leaving the portal.
  • The content was reorganised into the portal’s entry format — summary, text, references — without altering its claims.
  • The figures were not copied: they stay where they are published.

The figures are not copied

The illustrations of the translated entries were not downloaded, reproduced or optimised on this site: they stay on the server of whoever publishes them and are displayed from there, with the credit always visible next to the figure and a link to the source page.

One consequence is worth knowing: to display those images the reader’s browser contacts the source site directly. The portal does not tell it which page was being read, but the request comes from the reader’s device.

The licence of the translated entries

The translated entries are distributed under the same licence as the source work, CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. The “share alike” clause leaves no alternative, and whoever reuses them is bound by the same obligations: attribution, non-commercial use, same licence on any further derivative.

The portal’s own content

The default licence for content written for this portal is CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. It applies to original texts: translations and adaptations follow the licence of the work they derive from.

This is the default for new articles, not a rule that overrides declarations already published: the licence that counts is the one stated at the foot of each article.

Reusing this content

Anyone reusing content from this portal must state authors, title, the name of the portal, the licence declared on that article and a link to the source page. If the content is itself a translation, the attribution extends to the original work and its authors: the chain does not break.

When in doubt, write to the editorial team: redazione@example.it. Other details on the Contact page.

No affiliation

Progetto editoriale indipendente. Non è affiliato né approvato da alcuna opera preesistente sulle variazioni anatomiche.

AIVA is not affiliated with or endorsed by the authors of the original work, by its editors or by Anatomy Atlases. The translation is published by virtue of the public licence of the work, not of any relationship with those who wrote it: none of the people named on this page has reviewed, endorsed or authorised the content of this portal.

If an attribution is wrong

A wrong or missing attribution is a serious defect, not a formality: it gets corrected, not debated. Anyone who spots one can write to redazione@example.it. Corrections and retractions stay visible on the page concerned, as described in the editorial method.
