What should I submit to TRID?
TRIS will only consider transportation-related publications for indexing in TRID.
Our top priorities for indexing include: US DOT final reports; State DOT final reports regardless of funding source; UTC final reports regardless of funding source and university research reports.
TRIS systematically indexes transportation-related journal literature; see our list of Serials Currently Covered in the TRID Database.
Other types of publications that we routinely index include: conference papers, research reports from non-governmental organizations, and commercially published books.
What about older publications that have recently been digitized and made available online?
