MIT Research Publications

The Institute Archives collects lots of MIT publications.  What sets research publications apart?

Research publications ...

  • report early results of research conducted at MIT
  • are named series published by MIT's departments, labs, and centers (DLCs) or schools
  • are considered "monographic series," because each issue in a series is a freestanding pub with a unique title
  • are not peer-reviewed; so are considered a type of "gray literature" like preprints
  • like preprints, often appear subsequently as articles in peer-reviewed journals
  • typically have series names containing the words "report," "technical report," or "working papers" (though not always)
  • may contain issues that originated as MIT graduate theses

In most instances ...

  • "technical reports" or "reports" are published by DLCs in science or engineering
  • "working papers" are published by DCLs in social science, management, or public policy
