A technical report is a publication that describes the results or progress of a scientific or technical research project. Where appropriate, it draws conclusions and makes recommendations, and is initially submitted to the person or organization for whom the work was carried out. Technical reports may be issued as stand-alone publications or as part of a numbered series. They are often published by government agencies, research organizations, universities, laboratories, and companies.
Many technical reports are available online for free. Consult the library's guide to technical reports for more information.
