What is a technical report?

A technical report is a document written by a researcher detailing the results of a project and submitted to the sponsor of that project. Technical reports describe the results of technical or scientific research conducted internally for a governmental agency or private organization.  Technical reports are not usually peer-reviewed and can be difficult to find.
