The term "research publication" is used in a special sense here. It describes a class of monographic series published by MT departments, labs, and centers (DLCs). Each issue in a series has a unique title and constitutes a non-peer-reviewed report on research in progress or recently completed. Like pre-prints and other species of gray literature, these often appear subsequently as articles in peer-reviewed journals. The series titles of research publications typically contain the words "report," "technical report," or "working papers." In most cases, "technical reports" or "reports" are published by DLCs in science or engineering; "working papers" by DCLs in social science, management, or public policy.
