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- are not peer-reviewed; so are considered a type of "gray literature" like preprints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
