This information will be used when NYSERDA registers the report with the New York State Library and the Library of Congress. A list of keywords that describe the project and identify the major research concept should be submitted with the report. Four to six precise descriptors are generally sufficient and will be used for indexing, registering and distributing the report.  Acknowledgments (optional; small Roman numerals for page numbers): o If included, the Acknowledgments page precedes the Table of Contents and is generally no longer than two paragraphs in length.  Table of Contents (small Roman numerals for page numbers): o The Table of Contents should list front matter material (except the Table of Contents) and titles and section numbers for heading levels one through four. Additional levels should not be used in the report. If the heading styles are applied in Word, the list can be automatically generated.  List of Figures (small Roman numerals for page numbers). o If the report contains three or more figures, they should be listed using the style of the Table of Contents. (If the figure titles in text have the caption function applied in Word, the list can be automatically generated.)  List of Tables (small Roman numerals for page numbers). o If the report contains three or more tables, they should be listed using the style of the Table of Contents. (If the figure titles in text have the caption function applied in Word, the list can be automatically generated.)  Acronyms and Abbreviations List (small Roman numerals for page numbers): o All acronyms and abbreviations should be spelled out and followed by the acronym or abbreviation in parentheses on first use. o First reference to NYSERDA in text should be “the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA).” Subsequent references should read simply “NYSERDA.” o When referring to New York State, use “New York State” on first use and abbreviate “the State” for subsequent uses. o Use a one- or two-column layout for the list, but do not use a table.  Executive Summary or Summary (optional; ES-1 or S-1 etc. for page numbers of Executive Summary and Summary, respectively): o An Executive Summary is two pages in length maximum. A Summary is a shorter version of the report and varies in length but less than 10 percent of the main report is a good guideline.  Main Text (sequentially numbered pages i.e., 1, 2, 3 etc. preferred, but chapter-page numbering is acceptable).  Figures and tables with sequential numbering (Figure 1, Figure 2, etc. preferred but sequential chapter-number are acceptable), callouts in text (i.e., Figure 1 shows…) and Alternative Text to comply with ADA Accessibility are required. Refer to ADA guidelines for the best way to represent data with reference to colors.

Do not use wrap text.  References Cited and Bibliography information (as needed; continue sequential page numbering): o References Cited vs. Bibliography: References Cited has specific references called out in text to document sources of specific information, and a bibliography is a list of sources used to compile a document but does not have callouts for specific facts in the text. o Endnote style for reference citations is preferred but footnotes are acceptable. o Format of reference callout in text for footnote or endnote is the author-date callout in text (i.e., Wood and Stone 2010). o Full reference citations listed alphabetically by the last name of the first author. o Citation format is based on Chapter 15 (Documentation II: Author-Date References) of The Chicago Manual of Style (16th edition). o Use the following format to refer to reports published by NYSERDA: New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). Year of publication. “Title of Report,” NYSERDA Report Number xx-yy. Prepared by organization, company or individual names and city/state location (optional). xxxxxxx.xx.xxx/xxxxxxxxxxxx  Appendices (optional; A-1 etc. for Appendix A, B-1 etc. for Appendix B page numbering): o In NYSERDA reports, Appendices should be called appendices and not Attachments. Attachments are used to append a document to an appendix. (Attachments may have different definitions in emails and legal documents.)  Alterative text that describes figures and tables to meet Accessibility requirements. (A separate Word file is fine—see Section 2.2 for more details).
