Write For Us

Please contact Karl Jeffery, editor, if you are interested in submitting articles for Finding Petroleum / Digital Energy Journal.

Our style guidelines are:

i) the first priority of any piece of writing is the reader, not the company being written about, even if the company being written about is paying you to write it. If no-one wants to read the article it is all a waste of time, and nobody reads anything unless the writer really begs them.

ii) make the article as accessible and attractive to readers as possible. For example: minimise use of jargon, only use acronyms where they actually help, no trademark symbols, add headlines which explain the benefit of reading the article to the reader right now - ie that it will tell them something they didn't already know which is helpful in their jobs, and covers an important recent development.

iii) powerpoint type diagrams and screenshots do not usually work very well in a print magazine.

iv) use a journalistic style (not a press release style). v) some topics are more technically demanding than others, but a reasonable technical level to aim for is a high school level / 16 year old science student.
