Technical Reports
Technical reports are very focused reports of funded research projects. They are not usually put through a validation process before release. Depending upon the circumstances of the project, the authors may later rewrite the results and submit that paper to a scholarly journal for publication. Technical reports can be useful as sources for data or information on the use of methods and procedures. Stanford hosts a good gateway site for finding these materials online: Technical Reports. Full-text U.S. Department of Energy technical reports are found at the DOE Information Bridge.
Patent Resources
Selected Resources for Patents, Inventions, and Technology Transfer, from Stanford is a good gateway site.
