RTI Press is a global publisher of peer-reviewed, open-access publications. We publish on a broad range of topics reflecting RTI’s multidisciplinary research, expertise in social and laboratory sciences, and extensive international activities. Our publications inform national and international research, scientific discussions, and policy debates. RTI International funds RTI Press as a means of sharing research and practical knowledge to improve the human condition. The RTI Press Occasional Papers Series (ISSN 2378-7996) consists of scholarly essays on specific areas of study or technical focus. They are flexible in format and length and can therefore accommodate additional research, technical information, or background, beyond what is conventionally included when reporting on research. Occasional Papers are sequentially numbered and designated with the year and month of release (i.e., OP-number-year+month. For example, OP-0067-2101).
