Working Papers
Working papers are a unique type of academic publication that exists to share preliminary research to elicit feedback. Peer-reviewed journal articles frequently require considerable time to publish (due to the peer-review process); working papers, though sometimes also peer reviewed, are designed to be published more swiftly. One can review the working papers to get an idea of current research topics or trends.
