What is credit information?

Credit information in publishing is written acknowledgment of individuals and agencies who have been involved in producing the book.

Here are some examples of credit information:

• Written acknowledgement of an agency that has funded the book.

  Note:

  Such agencies often have standard statements they wish to have included. If not, a simple statement of recognition or acknowledgment, including the full recognized name and country of the agency, is usually sufficient.

• Names of contributing artists, authors, or editors

• Permissions information

  Example:

  Permissions to include material published elsewhere such as illustrations, maps, and charts
