Purpose
Technical reports are written to convey recent research development to the community. There are several purposes that are served by a technical report.
- Timely dissemination:
Journals and conference proceedings may take a long time in reviewing the
papers and publishing them online. Getting a technical report for the
work provides a mechanism of providing a date to the unpublished ideas,
research results and intellectual property.
- Availability: IIIT-D will
always provide online link to technical reports that will be available to
all in the open forum.
- Supplement material: Any
supplement material can be submitted later and it will be available with
the report in the form of additional/supplement with the original report.
The date of submission for the supplement material will also be made
available.
Policy
To ensure
the integrity of these technical reports, there are certain policies that the
institute will follow.
- The institute will keep a record of the
technical reports and ensure proper backup and maintenance.
- Once a report is published, its contents
cannot be modified.
- Request for publishing technical reports can
only be made by faculty members.
- Since the institute does not perform review
of the technical reports, the institute cannot guarantee that authors
will not post material that violates a copyright. It is up to the
individual submitting a technical report to ensure that to the best of
his or her knowledge, the publication does not violate any copyright
constraints. The author will be responsible for any questions that may
arise due to the work and IIIT-D does not have responsibility.
- If there is a request for the report to be
withdrawn, IIIT-D will permit it and not make it available on the web.
However, the title of the report, authors and technical report number
will be listed online along with the notification that the report is
withdrawn.
Permission to make digital
or hard copies of all or part of this work for personal or classroom use is
granted without fee provided that copies are not made or distributed for profit
or commercial advantage and that copies bear this notice and the full citation
on the first page. To copy otherwise, to republish, to post on servers or to
redistribute to lists, requires prior specific permission.This copyright is identical
to the standard copyright notice currently used on ACM publications. Procedure
The technical report (in
pdf format) should be submitted to the Library Committee. There is no
prescribed format to submit the report but it is expected that the report
should have broad arrangement as Motivation/Introduction, Method, Results, and
Conclusion. The librarian will assign the technical report number
as IIITD-TR-Year-Num (e.g. IIITD-TR-2010-001). The last three digits
represent the number of technical reports received in that particular year.
