Abstract
Technical reports serve as a source of primary information that reflects the results of comprehensive research and development efforts. Technical reports have held a distinct advantage over other scientific literature because of their rapid publication and dissemination. Much of the technical report literature is produced as a result of research and development activities sponsored by government agencies. As the volume and diversity of technical reports, it became apparent to researchers and research administrators that technical reports should come under a systematic scrutiny equivalent to that of the scientific journal. Early technical report literature in the area of toxicology was derived from occupational health surveys in industries. Another historical thread of technical reports related to toxicology is found in issues related to water and air pollution. State depository libraries are usually mandated to receive state agency reports. Technical report literature produced by individual corporations, inter-industry consortia, and manufacturing and trade associations is most likely to be subject to commercial security and proprietary classification. In addition to the technical report literature, government agencies also produce other types of literature commonly referred to as government documents.
