The ethics pledge you receive after submitting your application form includes an invoice. An invoice is a document we will need upon completion of your content creation in order to process the honorarium payment. We provide the format of the invoice in advance to simplify the process. Please note that there are no costs or fees associated with joining MOTIVE or creating content for us.

The MOTIVE is a platform where all engineers can share their skills and expertise with the world.
This means that any civil engineer with relevant knowledge and practical experience is eligible to participate in the MOTIVE.

Every piece of information, no matter how trivial it may seem to you, can be valuable to someone.
If you believe that the information you have is useful for other civil engineers, you can write it as content.
If you are having trouble selecting a topic, you can refer to the "Content Guidelines" for guidance.

Unfortunately, writing directly on our website is currently not possible.
Before the development of the writing feature, we will need to receive your content via email and upload it to the website on your behalf.
In this case, please provide your content in Word, PPT, etc. format, but not image.

When applying for the first time, you should include the pledge form, the payment contract for the manuscript compensation, and the information that will be used for your name tag. If you are writing additional content later, you only need to include the pledge form with the brief summary of the content to be written.

Once you have selected a topic, you can start by filling out the pledge form and sending it to us.
Before sending the pledge, it is recommended that you discuss the topic with us through the email.
We will prioritize the content of the person who contacts us first.
Please make sure to send the pledge form and complete the content.

You can request a duplicate check or discuss the topic with us through email.

There is no limit to the number of contents you can write.
We encourage you to share your technical skills, experiences, and knowledge on various topics.

Before disclosing information about a project you participated in, you should check the contract details with your company.
If this is not possible, you should write the content in such a way that it does not include any key or sensitive information about the project.

The manuscript compensation will be paid according to the payment method specified in the payment contract.

While templates like calculation sheet and attachments that can explain the content well can be of great help to our audience, we advise against submitting materials that are readily available on the public domain as this may detract from the value of your content.

When submitting your pledge and manuscript compensation payment contract, you must include your name and affiliation.
While disclosing your real name and affiliation in your content can enhance its credibility, it is not a mandatory requirement.
However, even if you use a pen name, you should refer to the name tag example and write an introduction.

We are in the process of developing a crew system for members who wish to collaborate or have difficulty writing content individually.
Upon the official launch of the MOTIVE, crew registration and the specifying a crew name in your content will be made available.
Until then, applications must be submitted individually.

Unfortunately, we cannot accept content that has been previously published online as this may be classified as plagiarism or copyright infringement.
The same applies to academic papers, conference reports, and other similar materials.

Currently, we are limited to accepting document-based content.
Soon we will be adding a video upload system and a personal lecture system through video, and we encourage you to submit your video content at that time.

Please reach out via the 'Contact Us' section or email for inquiries.
When you create content, you will be required to enter into an agreement regarding royalties and copyright.
The copyright holder who has created the content cannot use or allow a third party to use or publish the work with content identical or similar to the work separately.
