Q: How do I refer to SAS in a scientific paper?
A: Always write the name “SAS” in uppercase letters with no periods.
As you might guess, there are more guidelines and specifics about how to refer to SAS and its products and services. The complete list of guidelines is available on our corporate Web site under the Press Center in Editorial Guidelines.
I have selected a few items from the guidelines that may more accurately address the question that was intended.
- Do not use a trademark symbol after the word SAS when referring to SAS Institute Inc.
- Include the SAS trademark notice shown below in a footnote at the bottom of the page or the end of the article.
SAS and all other SAS Institute Inc. product or service names are registered trademarks or trademarks of SAS Institute Inc. in the USA and other countries. ® indicates USA registration.
- Scientific journals often require enough information to replicate your data findings. In these cases, the proper citation would be as follows (brackets “[]” indicate data that should be supplied by you):
The [output/code/data analysis] for this paper was generated using [SAS/STAT] software, Version [8] of the SAS System for [Unix]. Copyright © [year of copyright] SAS Institute Inc. SAS and all other SAS Institute Inc. product or service names are registered trademarks or trademarks of SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA.
Remember that I have provided only a partial list. Visit the Editorial Guidelines for full details.
