Important Information
Plagiarism Policy
In an effort to further improve SPE’s technical quality standards, all submitted conference papers will be checked for plagiarism.
We expect all 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 programme 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.
Commercialism Policy
In order to maintain the integrity, high quality, and unbiased information in all forms of written and oral presentations at the SPE Conferences, 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, and promotional material.
Use of the following will be carefully scrutinized during evaluation and presentation, and could result in withdrawal from the program:
Repeated violations of this policy may result in the speaker and/or moderator being barred from participating in future SPE Conferences.
