Can I adapt or translate a WPS assessment for my research?

You must formally request permission before adapting or translating assessment materials for research purposes. This includes adaptations for digital platforms (e.g., Qualtrics) or translations into other languages. Each request is reviewed individually to ensure compliance with copyright and licensing terms. Please submit your request via our online application forms found here.

Does WPS Rights & Permissions grant the complimentary use of assessment materials for use in research?

No, we do not grant complimentary use of material for research purposes. However, in consideration of relieving costs for research or educational purposes, WPS does offer a few discount programs applicable for the purchase of formally published proprietary WPS materials. You may find the appropriate application needed on the Discounts page. 

Do I need permission to reproduce WPS materials in a publication or grant?

Yes. Whether you're including tables, figures, or excerpts in a thesis, article, or grant submission, you must request permission to reproduce this material and receive a formal license from WPS Rights & Permissions. This applies even for nonprofit or academic use.

If I find the full form or questions online, can I download them and distribute them or use them in my online survey for free?

No. Even if the WPS assessment form content is found online, the copyright and intellectual property rights to the material are held by WPS. Thus, any unauthorized, unlicensed, and/or unpermitted reproduction is an infringement of WPS's intellectual property rights. 

Do I have permission to reproduce WPS forms into an online survey if I have purchased the amount I need in paper forms?

No. Purchasing paper forms does not grant the right to reproduce WPS copyrighted materials in an online survey format. Such adaptations require a separate agreement and may be subject to license fees. All requests are reviewed and approved on a case-by-case basis.

Does WPS Rights & Permissions accommodate accessibility when disability or impairment prevent access to WPS materials?

Yes. Our office aims to accommodate as best as we can in these cases. A direct request can be made to our office at rights@wpspublish.com.
