Research Reports:
How to submit a report

Supercomputing Institute researchers should submit preprints and/or reprints of all research reports supported in whole or in part by Supercomputing Institute resources (hardware, software, or user support). The Supercomputing Institute should be acknowledged in such publications in the byline, the acknowledgments, or both. You're encouraged to submit your papers in PDF format as attachments to submissions@msi.umn.edu or to call the Research Reports Coordinator at (612) 624-0528 for more information.
Note: All research reports submitted for inclusion in our research reports series are considered submitted for posting on our web site. Should there be serious reasons, such as copyright requirements of the journal you are submitting the paper to, for not posting the reports publicly, please note that prominently in your submission message, and we will follow your wishes.
