The purpose of this guide is to assist authors in preparing
reports for the Upper Mississippi River System Long Term Resource
Monitoring Program (LTRMP). Four series of reports are produced
for the LTRMP: Technical, Special, Program, and Reprints.
Technical Reports have an EMTC staff member as the first author.
Reports authored by contract or field station staff are published
as LTRMP Special Reports. Programmatic reports (Annual Work Plan,
Operating Plan), Annual Status Reports, Geospatial Applications,
User's Manuals, and Procedures Manuals are designated as Program
Reports. To provide LTRMP participants with easy access to
documentation of LTRMP-related studies, reports previously
published in other professional outlets are reprinted in the LTRMP
Reprint series.
