Policies
Anti-Harassment Policy
The Association for Iron and Steel Technology (AIST) is dedicated to providing harassment-free events for everyone, regardless of age, race, religion, disability, gender, gender identity or sexual orientation. We do not tolerate harassment in any form of anyone attending an AIST event.
Harassing behaviors include: offensive verbal comments related to age, race, religion, disability, gender, gender identity or sexual orientation; the use or display of sexual images, activities or commentary in public spaces; deliberate intimidation; stalking or following; harassing photography or recording; sustained disruption of events; or inappropriate physical contact.
Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. Participants violating this policy may be sanctioned or expelled from the event or the membership at the discretion of the AIST leadership.
Commercialism Policy
Papers and presentations delivered at AIST-sponsored forums are intended to be technical in nature, with solutions supported by verifiable data. Commercially motivated commentary or endorsement of specific brands or companies is not acceptable. Each paper/ presentation will be peer reviewed by forum organizers to ensure compliance with this policy. If the paper/presentation is deemed to be in violation, the author/presenter will be notified by the forum organizer(s) and given the opportunity to revise the content or to withdraw the paper/presentation. To preserve and protect the interests of AIST, forum organizers will have the authority and the responsibility to stop any paper/presentation they determine to be in violation of this policy. Adherence to the Commercialism Policy should include minimization of references to product branding in the paper/presentation and utilization of the provided AIST presentation templates.
Plagiarism Policy
The Association for Iron & Steel Technology (AIST) seeks to maintain the highest standards in all activities to serve the steel industry. AIST expects its members, authors and presenters to adhere to these standards within any AIST function or forum. This includes the development, submittal and presentation of written or electronic material for publication. Plagiarism within submitted work will not be tolerated.
