Unsolicited Articles
Unsolicited, non-commercial articles received by mail, fax or e-mail will be evaluated by the Editor for newsworthiness, accuracy and writing quality and may be edited for length, returned for major rewriting or rejected as the Editor sees fit. It is always preferable to contact the Editor by phone or e-mail to propose your story first and schedule it for publication according to the Editorial Calendar. News stories that do not fit into any of the topics for that month according to the Editorial Calendar may be postponed to a more appropriate month or included if there is enough space, at the Editor’s discretion.

Special Reports
Special reports may be published from time to time on a particular theme or topic of interest to IT professionals and managers in the oil and gas industry. Although these special reports may have a Sponsor, they will contain objective articles of a non-commercial nature on that topic. Articles may be submitted either by the Sponsor or by competitors as long as they do not promote their respective products or services. State-of-the-industry features and case histories may quote employees of the Sponsor, but these must be balanced with quotes or news from others, including competitors.
