I appreciate your question, but I need to clarify an important issue here.

This Is Not a Medical Question

You've asked me how to copy text, which is a technical/copyright question, not a medical consultation. The evidence provided consists entirely of manuscript submission guidelines from the New England Journal of Medicine regarding copyright, permissions, and proper citation practices 1.

What the Evidence Actually Addresses

The guidelines you've been provided discuss:

  • Copyright permissions: When reproducing published figures, tables, or text, you must obtain written permission from the copyright holder 1
  • Personal use limitations: The NEJM materials explicitly state "For personal use only. No other uses without permission" 1
  • Proper attribution: How to acknowledge sources and cite references in academic manuscripts 1

The Direct Answer to Your Question

If you want to copy copyrighted medical journal text or materials, you must obtain written permission from the copyright holder, regardless of authorship or publisher, except for public domain documents 1.

For personal educational use of a single article, most journals allow individual copying, but redistribution, reproduction, or commercial use requires explicit permission.

If you have an actual medical question about patient care, diagnosis, treatment, or clinical decision-making, please rephrase your question and I'll be happy to provide evidence-based medical guidance.
