"Research Publications"
MIT produces many serial or serial-like publications. "Research publications" is a local genre term that refers to a sub-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 account of faculty research recently completed or still in progress. Like pre-prints and other species of gray literature, many research pubs subsequently appear as articles in peer-reviewed journals. The series titles of research pubs 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.
