A technical report is a document that describes the process, progress, or results of technical or scientific research or the state of a technical or scientific research problem. Many organizations prepare technical reports for internal or wider distribution. Technical reports often present cutting-edge research before being published in journals or conferences.
A standard is "a recognized unit of comparison by which the correctness of others can be determined." Another definition is "a set of characteristics or qualities that describes features of a product, process, or service."
To locate a standard, you should have at least some of the following details:
Locating standards can be difficult. Databases for locating standards often only have a title for you to search by keyword. Standards are regularly updated (usually) and the version that you want might depend on your specific information needs.
Provides full-text access to Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) transactions, journals, magazines and conference proceedings published since 1988 and all current and draft IEEE standards.
Conference papers are presented at a conference, meeting, symposium, etc., by individual speakers.
Proceedings are a collection of conference papers published by the organizing institution or via a publisher. They are distributed as printed books or made available online. Proceedings may include whole papers or just the abstracts.
Locating conference proceedings can be complicated because of variations in:
Conference Proceedings Citation Index helps researchers access the published literature from the most significant conferences, symposia, seminars, colloquia, workshops, and conventions worldwide. This resource offers a complete view of conference proceedings and their impact on global research, letting you use cited reference searching to track emerging ideas and new research beyond what is covered in the journal literature. CPCI can also be searched with other citation databases in the Web of Science platform.
