The attribution requirement applies to all CC licenses. A CC attribution consists of four elements: title, author, source, and license. 1. Title of the work. If a title is not provided, you can exclude or use one of the following: “This work by…” or “Untitled by…” 2. Author(s). Provide the name of the creator(s) of the work. A username (e.g., from a Flickr account) is acceptable. 3.Source. Provide a link back to the original source where the work is hosted (e.g., Flickr page). If using an image in printed form then provide the source URL. 4. License. Identify the CC license type and provide a link to the license deed. Modifications to an original work are allowed under selected CC licenses. You should indicate modifications in your attribution.
