The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers provides many opportunities for researchers and working professionals to publish and share their knowledge. Copyright transfer agreements allow SNAME to disseminate author work in accordance with the Society's mission and bylaws.
The Society does not allow commercialization in formal presentations or published papers. Authors and presenters are generally expected to provide their professional affiliations, and where appropriate they are expected to acknowledge support received, including that received from commercial concerns. However use of trademarked names, display of corporate logos, or analogous practices is discouraged.
