Call for presentations
The 2012 Stata Conference will be held in San Diego, California.
The Stata Conference is enjoyable and rewarding for Stata users at all
levels and from all disciplines. This year’s program will consist of
presentations by users, invited speakers, and
StataCorp developers. In addition, the program will include the ever-popular
“Wishes and grumbles” session in which users have an opportunity
to share their comments and suggestions directly with developers from
StataCorp.
All users are encouraged to submit abstracts for possible presentations.
Presentations on any Stata-related topic will be considered, including (but
not limited to) the following:
- new user-written commands, including commands for modeling and
estimation, graphical analysis, data management, or reporting
- use or evaluation of existing Stata commands
- methods for teaching statistics with Stata or teaching the use of
Stata
- case studies of Stata use in novel areas or applications
- surveys or critiques of Stata facilities in specific fields
- comparisons of Stata with other software or use of Stata together with
other software
Each user presentation should be either 15 or 25 minutes long, and should be
followed by 5 minutes for questions. Longer presentations will be
considered at the
discretion of the scientific committee.
Submission guidelines
Please submit an abstract of no more than 200 words (ASCII text, no math
symbols) using the web submission form at
repec.org/san/san12.php. All
abstracts must be received by February 20, 2012. Please include a short,
informative title and indicate whether you wish to be considered for a short
(15-minute) or long (25-minute) presentation. In addition, if your

conference registration fee will be waived for the presenter.
If you would like to discuss an idea for a presentation or have questions
about the program format, contact a member of the
scientific committee.
Presenters will be asked to provide the organizers with electronic materials
