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.

A Word on Commercialism
SPE has a stated policy against use of commercial trade names, company logos, or text that is commercial in tone in the paper title, text, or presentation slides. Use of such terms will result in careful scrutiny by the Program Committee in the evaluation of paper proposals, and the presence of commercialism in the paper will result in it being withdrawn from the program.
