Publication Policies
AI-generated Content in Publications
The proliferation and increasing sophistication of AI-assisted language tools (such
as ChatGPT) have opened new avenues for research, but the ethics and best
practices for their use are still evolving. These tools may generate useful
information and content but are also prone to errors and inconsistencies. AI-
generated content can be used within SPE publications under the following
conditions:

 AI language tools may not be listed as an author. The AI tool cannot sign publishing
agreements or transfers of copyright.
  Any AI-generated content that is used within a manuscript should be thoroughly
vetted, fact checked, and disclosed.
 If AI language tools are used within a manuscript, their use should be clearly
explained within the methodology or acknowledgement section of the paper. If AI-
generated content is included within a manuscript without an explanation, this can
be grounds for rejection of the work at the discretion of SPE and may result in a
code of conduct review.
 The authors of the manuscript will be held responsible for any errors,
inconsistencies, incorrect references, plagiarism, or misleading content included
from the AI tool.

Policy Review
This policy will be reviewed periodically to ensure that it remains relevant and
effective in the face of changing technologies and emerging concerns. Changes to
the policy will be communicated in a timely and transparent manner.

Copyright
We require transfer of copyright for all our publications, including conference
proceedings. This allows us to distribute publications throughout the world by print
and electronic means, to create translations and reuse them in reprint collections.

Transfer of Copyright

Copyright During Peer Review

 We require that authors provide a temporary transfer of copyright to facilitate the

peer review process.
 If the paper is accepted for publication, a permanent transfer of copyright will be
required.
 The author must agree not to submit the paper for review or publication elsewhere
while under review by SPE.
 If the paper is not accepted for publication, full copyright will revert to the original
owner, for papers that did not originate at an SPE conference.

Plagiarism
We expect authors to credit all sources used in their writings and not to represent
work of others as their own. Authors found to have plagiarized the work of another
are subject to having their paper removed from the conference program and from
OnePetro. Future submissions from authors found to have plagiarized will be
scrutinized carefully. In the case of students found to be plagiarizing the work of
others, SPE may inform the student’s university.

For more information, check out the Plagiarism FAQ page.

How to Avoid Plagiarism

Plagiarizing Your Own Work

Permissions
Copyright allows us to perform a valuable service for our industry. SPE copyrights
save you from needing to locate the authors to request permission; SPE can
provide permission. To defray our costs, fees apply to certain types of use,
especially those that are commercial in nature. SPE uses Copyright Clearance
Center’s licensing solution for reuse permissions. This allows you to immediately
determine the fees and to complete the transaction online.

Commercialism Policy
SPE recognizes to maintain the integrity, high quality, and unbiased information in
all forms of written and oral presentations at any SPE event including, but not
limited to, conferences, symposia, workshops, summits, or forums, overt
commercialism is prohibited outside of the commercial exhibit areas.

Items deemed to be commercial in nature will not be allowed or disseminated. This

includes, but is not limited to, Conference Proceedings, presentations, OnePetro,
Journals, and promotional material.

Use of the following will be carefully scrutinized during evaluation and presentation
and could result in being withdrawn from the program:

 Generic descriptions should replace commercial trade names or trademarked

materials
 Company logos allowed on title and closing slide only
 Text which is overtly commercial in tone or intent within paper titles, presentation
slides, text, tables, figures, animation, audio, and video is prohibited

Repeated violations of this policy may result in the speaker and/or moderator being
barred from participating in future SPE event programs.

ORCID iD
SPE is adopting ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributer ID), a widely accepted unique identifier
for authors, giving them control over their content and eliminating ambiguities. All SPE
contributors will be required to have an ORCID iD starting 1 January, 2023.

What is an ORCID iD and Why is it Important?

What is an ORCID iD?
The ORCID iD (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is one of scholarly publishing’s
most accepted and widely used unique author identifiers. It is used across
numerous publishers.
An ORCID iD is a simple numerical identifier (e.g. 0000-0001-6479-5330). Each
researcher/author should have only one ORCID iD, which will stay the same over
their lifetime.

Anyone can register an ORCID iD for themselves for free using a simple online
registration form on the orcid.org website. The initial process takes less than 2
minutes. Once created SPE members can also add their ORCID iD to their SPE
member profile.

Why is it important?
Your ORCID iD:

 distinguishes you and ensures your research outputs and activities are correctly
attributed to you
 reliably and easily connects you with your contributions and affiliations
 reduces form-filling (enter data once, re-use it often)
 improves recognition and discoverability for you and your research outputs
 is interoperable (works with many institutions, funders, and publishers)
 is persistent (enduring)

As the author you control the visibility of each piece of data in your ORCID record.
You can adjust visibility to make your work discoverable—or keep some things
private or shared only with your trusted organizations. It’s up to you!

Why is SPE mandating authors have an ORCID iD?

 An ORCID iD on each paper for every author enables SPE to create disambiguation
between two authors with the same name, ensuring that credit for a publication is
given to the correct author. Also, in case of name changes (e.g. marriage), it
facilitates linking papers together. Over time, SPE has also changed how we present
author names on papers (last name first, initials only, etc.); the ORCID iD helps
ensure the correct author gets credit for the work regardless of their listed name on
the paper.
 Starting in January 2023, the SPE Board has stipulated that all authors and
coauthors for SPE conference and journal articles must have an ORCID ID. If a
coauthor refuses to provide his ORCID iD. The only remedy is to drop the coauthor
as author.
 For peer-review journals, coauthors will need to sign into their account
(instructions here) and add their ORCID iD in their user profile.
How do I get an ORCID iD?
1. Go to orcid.org/register to sign up for a new ORCID iD.

2. The system will verify that you do not already have an ORCID iD before issuing
you a new one. You will also be asked to verify your email address by following a
link sent to the email that you provide.

3. Once your ORCID iD is registered, you can add information to your profile
including your social sites, employment history, and published works.

4. Add your ORCID iD to your SPE member profile. After signing in to your SPE.org
account go to your “profile” page. Under the “Personalize your Account” section
select ORCID iD. If you have not already registered an ORCID iD, you can do so through
your member profile.

5. Sign in to your ORCID account and select “Authorize Access” to add your verified
ORCID iD to your member profile. Going forward, authorship in any published SPE
conference or journal papers will by automatically updated within your ORCID
record.
 1. Go to orcid.org/register to sign
up for a new ORCID iD.
 4. Add your ORCID iD to
your SPE member profile. After signing in to your SPE.org account go to your “profile” page.
