Technical reports in physics literature
DOI: 10.1063/1.3057150
In the fifteen years since World War II the technical report as a medium of scientific and technical communication has increased rapidly in importance. The increased volume is primarily a result of the growth of defense‐related research and development programs sponsored by Government agencies. Normal channels of scientific reporting such as books and journals do not satisfy the requirements of security and speed of communication. Industrial research and development have led to a further increase in the production of technical reports.
