A study was conducted to determine the present degree of effectiveness and possible improvements in disseminating, within the entire Government R + D str cture, newly generated technical reports of Government sponsored research. Primary consideration is given to the expeditious furnishing of new reports to Government R + D activities and their contractors and grantees who have a need for the information at the time it is documented. The study involved 31 Government inf rmation activities; an appraisal of informati n distribution systems, including the development of an analytical model for effective dissemination; an analysis of currently-produced technical information; and research involving environmental factors affecting the distribution process. Conclusions reveal that the present degree f effectiveness is unsatisfactory, and improvements to the Federal technical information distribution system are possible in several areas. (Author).

This book provides thorough and specific guidance on how to prepare defense-related scientific and technical reports, including classified scientific and technical reports. It includes an appendix describing the workings of the Defense Technical Information Center, the central repository for defense-related scientific and technical reports, and an appendix addressing tone and style, including pertinent information from the United States Government Printing Office Style Manual 2000, the official style guide of the U.S. Government and, therefore, the Department of Defense. Every facet of preparing defense-related scientific and technical reports is addressed, thereby making it unnecessary for the user to have to refer to the standards and numerous regulations pertaining to this subject. In effect, the book provides "one-stop shopping" for the user. Also, some of the official guidance on preparing defense-related scientific and technical reports requires interpretation, and in those cases the book provides a prudent analysis of that information and prescribes a "best practices" course for the user.
