It's necessary for my current paper to compare some values from my work and previous work. Since the mean and std values of previous work are shown in their paper, could I plot some bar chart for the comparison between mine and theirs(of course I'll specify the source of the data)?

Yes, you can do this. Note that data per se isn't copyrightable in most places. But citation is proper to avoid any charge of plagiarism.

In particular there is no problem or step to be taken if you replot the data togheter with your data in a new figure, except for a clear citation in caption and in the references list. Otherwise a side by side comparison will require permission. May 10, 2021 at 9:01
