Submitting Publications and Reports
Electronic Documents — Two ways to forward:
Paper Documents — Send one high-quality, legible copy to:
NTIS needs a high-quality, legible copy of each document included in its collection. Once the original stock is exhausted, NTIS uses this master to print additional copies. The quality of copies NTIS reproduces is directly related to the quality of the original.
Please send a completed Report Documentation Page (SF-298) with each report. It provides the information that assures your document will be announced accurately. You need not include any information easily found in the first few pages of the report. To obtain more information/forms by mail, call (703) 605-6239.
Report Number Series For Your Organization
If you submit more than one item, NTIS can create a report number series for your organization that makes it easier to track and catalog reports. If you are already using a system, NTIS can register your existing series.
NTIS has been designated by the National Information Standards Organization as the central authority to maintain a registry of report numbers. For more information, call the NTIS Standard Technical Report Number (STRN) Service at (703) 605-6274.
