Research Reports
Report Designations

Research reports published by the UGPTI receive one of three designations.

• Department Publications (carrying a DP numbering designation) are generally project-funded reports that have been peer reviewed by outside clients or other professional reviewers, including those from within the university.
• MPC Publications (carrying an MPC numbering designation) are projects funded by the Mountain-Plains Consortium and have been peer reviewed by outside clients or other professional reviewers, including those from within one of the consortium universities.
• Staff Papers (carrying an SP numbering designation) may not have been peer reviewed and are not published as part of a UGPTI project.
