Ethics in technical reports: This topic covers the ethical considerations involved in creating technical reports, including plagiarism, data manipulation, and conflicts of interest.
Effective communication in technical reports: This topic covers the strategies for communicating technical information effectively, such as using plain language, providing context, and using appropriate visuals.
Access and dissemination of technical reports: This topic covers the ways in which technical reports can be accessed and disseminated, including through online repositories, libraries, and professional networks.
Research reports: These types of reports present findings of a research study or investigation. They include background information, methodology, results, and conclusions.
Feasibility reports: These reports explore the potential viability and practicality of a proposed project or course of action. They outline the project scope, time frame, budget, and potential challenges.
Progress reports: These reports monitor the progress of an ongoing project, highlighting accomplishments, milestones, and potential risks and challenges.
Technical manuals: These are detailed guides that offer technical information about a product or service. Technical manuals may outline the specifications, installation procedures, and maintenance requirements of a product or service.
Design reports: These reports present design concepts, prototypes, and detailed engineering plans for a product or system.
Evaluation reports: These types of reports assess the effectiveness of an ongoing program or policy initiative. They may offer recommendations for improvements or future changes.
Environmental impact reports: These reports conduct an environmental review of a proposed project, assessing potential impacts on natural resources and habitats.
Standards and specifications reports: These reports outline the requirements for a particular product, service, or industry. Standards and specifications reports may include technical data, testing and validation procedures, and regulatory requirements.
User documentation: These are technical manuals or guides that provide instructions for end-users on how to use a particular product or service.
Case study reports: These types of reports detail a particular case or scenario, presenting an analysis of the situation, the actions taken, and the outcomes.
Financial reports: These reports track and analyze the financial performance of an organization, providing an overview of revenue, expenses, assets, and liabilities.
System reports: These present a detailed analysis of a computer system or network, assessing performance, potential vulnerabilities and risks, and offering recommendations for improvement.
Patent reports: These reports describe a new invention or development, outlining the technical specifications and requirements for securing a patent.
White papers: These are detailed reports that present a policy or technical solution to a particular issue or challenge. White papers may offer an analysis of the existing literature or data and provide recommendations for future action.
Instructional manuals: These are detailed guides that offer step-by-step instructions for performing a particular task or activity. Instructional manuals may be technical, educational, or instructional.

"It might also include recommendations and conclusions of the research."
"Unlike other scientific literature, such as scientific journals and the proceedings of some academic conferences, technical reports rarely undergo comprehensive independent peer review before publication."
"They may be considered as grey literature."
"Where there is a review process, it is often limited to within the originating organization."
"There are no formal publishing procedures for such reports, except where established locally."
