When researching literature, it is useful if you know the different
forms of publications, where you can find them and what kind of information you can expect to find in them (see also
publication genres).
Further publications from universities, public bodies and other organisations (e.g.
research reports,
dissertations,
working papers) can now primarily be found in electronic form on their websites or in so-called
repositories. Academic blog posts have also recently become established as a new form of publishing in academe. Academic publications can be accessed in print and/or electronic form.
