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.

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
Database and its public interface, the NASA Technical Report Server,
thus providing one of the largest collection 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:
\begin{list}{$\bullet$}%
 {\settowidth{\labelwidth}{$\bullet$}%
  \setlength{\labelsep}{0.5em}%
  \setlength{\leftmargin}{\labelwidth}%
  \addtolength{\leftmargin}{\labelsep}%
  \setlength{\topsep}{0pt}}
\item 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 counterpart of peer-reviewed formal professional papers, but
  having less stringent limitations on manuscript length and extent of
  graphic presentations.
\item 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.
\item CONTRACTOR REPORT.
  Scientific and technical findings by NASA-sponsored contractors and
  grantees.
\newpage
\item CONFERENCE PUBLICATION.\\
  Collected papers from scientific and technical conferences, symposia,
  seminars, or other meetings sponsored or co-sponsored by NASA\@.
\item SPECIAL PUBLICATION.
  Scientific, technical, or historical information from NASA programs,
  projects, and missions, often concerned with subjects having
  substantial public interest.
\item TECHNICAL TRANSLATION.
  English- language translations of foreign scientific and technical
  material pertinent to NASA's mission.
\end{list}

 Specialized services also include organizing and publishing research
 results, distributing specialized research announcements and feeds,
 providing information desk and personal search support, and enabling
 data exchange services.
