Author questions

Are authors paid?

No. Writing for SFAIS is a volunteer role, and articles are unpaid. There is also no fee to submit.

Do I need to be an expert?

No. We welcome students, professionals, researchers and practitioners, as long as you can share something useful and accurate.

Can I promote my company?

Please keep articles informative rather than promotional. You can add one link to your website or profile in your author bio.

Can I use AI tools to help me write?

Yes, but tell us how you used them. You are responsible for the facts, and the ideas should be your own.

Who owns my work?

You keep ownership of your work. By submitting, you let SFAIS publish and share it with credit to you.

Will every submission be published?

Not every one. Our editors choose pieces that fit our topics and guidelines, and they will tell you if changes are needed.
