What are Technical Reports?
Technical reports are publications that convey results of research that is usually funded by government or corporate organizations. They are designed to disseminate research quickly for a variety of projects. These reports are generally not peer reviewed, and are published in a numbered series by each publishing agency. Because of this, there is generally little consistency in the ways in which these reports are published and distributed. For more information, the Library of Congress has some information on the history and types of technical reports here.
