Policy Reports
What are policy reports?
Policy reports are descriptions of research produced by the organization conducting the research rather than by a conventional publisher. They are distributed on a limited basis by the producer of the research or by its funding agency. Like dissertations, they often contain more detailed information than is included in an eventual conventionally published work. Sometimes work included in working papers is never otherwise published.
