NASA STI Program . . . in Profile

Since its founding, NASA has been dedicated to the
advancement of aeronautics and space science. The
NASA Scientific and Technical Information (STI)
program plays a key part in helping NASA maintain
this important role.

•

•

•

TECHNICAL PUBLICATION. Reports ofcompleted research or a major significant phase
of research that present the results of NASA
programs and include extensive data or theoretical
analysis. Includes compilations of significant
scientific and technical data and information
deemed to be of continuing reference value.
NASA counterpart of peer-reviewed formal
professional papers but has less stringent
limitations on manuscriptlength and extent of
graphic presentations.
TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM. Scientific
and technical findings that are preliminary or
of specialized interest, e.g., quick release
reports, working papers, and bibliographies that
contain minimal annotation. Does not contain
extensive analysis.
CONTRACTOR REPORT. Scientific and
technical findings by NASA-sponsored
contractors and grantees.

CONFERENCEPUBLICATION. Collected
papers from scientific and technical
conferences, symposia, seminars, or other
meetings sponsored or cosponsored by NASA.

•
The NASA STI Program operates under the auspices
of the Agency Chief Information Officer. It collects,
organizes, provides for archiving, and disseminates
NASA’s STI. The NASA STI program provides access
to the NASA Aeronautics and Space Databaseand
its public interface, the NASA Technical Reports
Server, thus providing one of the largest collections
of aeronautical and space science STI in the world.
Results are published in both non-NASA channels
and by NASA in the NASA STI Report Series, which
includes the following report types:

•

SPECIAL PUBLICATION. Scientific,
technical, or historical information from
NASA programs,projects, and missions, often
concerned with subjects having substantial
public interest.

•

TECHNICAL TRANSLATION. Englishlanguage translations of foreign scientific and
technical material pertinent to NASA’s mission.

Specialized services also include creating custom
thesauri, building customized databases, organizing
and publishing research results.
