Since its founding, NASA has been dedicated to the
advancement of aeronautics and space science. The
NASA Scientific and Technical Information (STI)
Program Office plays a key part in helping NASA
maintain this important role.
The NASA STI Program Office is operated by
Langley Research Center, the Lead Center for
NASA’s scientific and technical information. The
NASA STI Program Office provides access to the
NASA STI Database, the largest collection of
aeronautical and space science STI in the world.
The Program Office is also NASA’s institutional
mechanism for disseminating the results of its
research and development activities. These results
are published by NASA in the NASA STI Report
Series, which includes the following report types:
• TECHNICAL PUBLICATION. Reports of
completed 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’s counterpart of peer-reviewed formal
professional papers but has less stringent
limitations on manuscript length 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.
The NASA STI Program Office . . . in Profile
• CONFERENCE PUBLICATION. Collected
papers from scientific and technical conferences,
symposia, seminars, or other meetings
sponsored or cosponsored by NASA.
• 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 that complement the STI
Program Office’s diverse offerings include creating
custom thesauri, building customized databases,
organizing and publishing research results . . . even
providing videos.
