Data reports generally are a medium for archiving raw data and provide the metadata to enable further analyses. However in some reports preliminary analyses and interpretation is provided and sometimes a narrative is given of a field investigation or survey. In Fisheries Research Board
of Canada days, raw data were published in the Manuscript Reports series and I have included
such reports in that category (q.v.).
