Light tan highlighting (the background in this paragraph) is used for all comments that tell you how to use this template and specify guidelines that you should follow. For more detailed instructions about how to use the template and writing guidelines that you should follow, see the section “Basic Instructions .“ (Every cross-reference include a link.)

When you use this template, many formatting issues are automatically controlled for you. For example, you do not need to add blank lines between paragraphs because all defined paragraph styles (for example, headings and PaperBody) automatically include the proper space between paragraphs.

Replace with your own text all text that is not highlighted in light tan except for the last two paragraphs (about trademarks) and any headings that have “Do not change” after them.

When you have finished writing your paper, delete all text that is highlighted in light tan, including the README heading.

Abstract

Do not change the heading style or the text “ABSTRACT” of the preceding heading. Replace the following text with the edited abstract from the conference system.

This paragraph uses the PaperBody style.

Introduction

Do not change the heading style or the text “INTRODUCTION” of the preceding heading. Replace the following text with one or more paragraphs of an introduction that explain the purpose and scope of your paper and provide readers with any general information that they need to understand your paper.

This paragraph uses the PaperBody style.

Identify what skills or knowledge your audience will gain.

First Main Topic <heading 1>

This is a main topic in the body of the paper. This paragraph uses the PaperBody style.

If you need to include source code, introduce it with a sentence that ends with a colon:

proc ds2;

data _null_;

method init();

dcl varchar(16) str;

str = 'Hello World!';

put str;

end;

enddata;

run;

quit;

The easiest way to insert code is to copy the preceding code and modify it as needed. Be sure to indent the first line of code three spaces. Other lines can be indented for clarity. Certain words might be in a different color. You can keep the color or change it to black.

When you want to continue text after source code, select the PaperBody paragraph style. (See the section “To select a paragraph style.”

When you describe the code, use all caps for names of procedures, statements, options, functions, commands, and steps (for example,” the PRINT procedure,” “the DATA step,” and “the PROC PRINT step”). On the first mention of a procedure, use its name, followed by the word “procedure” (for example, “the PRINT procedure”). Subsequently, you can use “PROC PRINT.”

Always introduce a figure by inserting a cross-reference. For instructions, see the section “To insert a cross-reference.”

losedate date,opendate date,primary_cd numeric(18,5),status varchar(1))

Output 1. Output from a CREATE TABLE Statement

Always use the Caption paragraph style for output captions. See the section “To insert a caption.” Following those instructions ensures that the outputs are automatically numbered (even if you rearrange them later). Use title style capitalization for captions (as shown in this example). Note that output has the same font as source code, but it is in a box. (This box is not a text box.)

This is the format for references if you use the author-date format, in which citations are inserted in parentheses in text, such as (Smith 2014) or (Smith, 2014; Doe and Johnson, 2016). If the same author has several references, use a, b, c, and so on. For example, (SAS Institute Inc. 2015a, 2016b, and 2016c).

Basic Instructions

Writing Guidelines

Trademarks and product names

To find correct SAS product names (including use of trademark symbols), if you are a SAS employee, see the Master Name List. Otherwise, see SAS Trademarks.

Use superscripted trademark symbols in the first use in title, first use in abstract, and in graphics, charts, figures, and slides.

Do not abbreviate product names. For example, you cannot use “EM” for SAS® Enterprise Miner™. After having introduced a SAS product name, you can occasionally omit “SAS” for certain products, provided that your editor agrees. For example, after you have introduced SAS® Simulation Studio, you can occasionally use “Simulation Studio.”

Writing style

Use active voice. (Use passive voice only if the recipient of the action needs to be emphasized.) For example:

The product creates reports. (active)
Reports are created by the product. (passive)

Use second person and present tense as much as possible. For example:

You get accurate results from this product. (second person, present tense)
The user will get accurate results from this product. (future tense)

Run spellcheck, and fix errors in grammar and punctuation.

Citing references

All published work that is cited in your paper must be listed in the REFERENCES section.

If you include text or visuals that were written or developed by someone other than yourself, you must use the following guidelines to cite the sources:

If you use material that is copyrighted, you must mention that you have permission from the copyright holder or the publisher, who might also require you to include a copyright notice. For example: “Reprinted with permission of SAS Institute Inc. from SAS® Risk Dimensions®: Examples and Exercises. Copyright 2004. SAS Institute Inc.”

If you use information from a previously printed source from which you haven’t requested copyright permission, you must cite the source in parentheses after the paraphrased text. For example: “The minimum variance defines the distance between cluster (Ward 1984, p. 23)
