Title: Publishing an Industrial Case Study: Advice for Would-Be Authors
Author(s): Robert Rodriguez*+
Companies: SAS Institute Inc.
Address: SAS Campus Drive, Cary, NC, 27513-8000,
Keywords: Case Studies ; Industrial statistics
Abstract:

Good published case studies of industrial statistical applications are in high demand by practicing statisticians and classroom instructors, but they are in short supply. This is partly because many statisticians working in industry are not encouraged or prepared to write for journals. We will discuss success factors for publishing industrial case studies (such as an application of general interest and statistical substance) and how to approach the writing process. Join us if you have material you would like to publish, or if you are affiliated with a journal that would like to attract industrial case studies.
