Permission to Use AACN Content
Permissions
To use AACN copyrighted materials, the appropriate request pathway
depends on the type of content you wish to use.
Journals, AACN Bold Voices, and Books
Permission requests for reuse of AACN journal content and AACN Bold Voices are generally managed through the Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) Marketplace. Please visit copyright.com, search for the AACN title or article, and follow the on-screen instructions.
Permission pathways for AACN book content vary by title and intended use. Some book permissions are available through CCC Marketplace, whereas others are administered by the book's publisher. Please search copyright.com first. If the title or requested use is not available, consult the publisher identified in the book or contact AACN using the information below.
All Other AACN Content
For permission to reuse AACN content not handled through CCC—including podcasts, website content, educational materials, and other digital resources—please complete our online permissions request form:
