Research Reports and Notes

Research Reports and Notes should conform to their stated purpose:

to provide a brief research report or note that offers a commentary on a technique or method that will assist other researchers,
to identify and offer guidance about a new archive or body of research material/data, or
to offer a complementary note on major research that will assist in the interpretation of that research in a manner that is designed to facilitate understanding rather than critique it.
