Talk:White paper

Yellow paper
Is yellow paper limited to cryptocurrency? I've only seen it in that context. kencf0618 (talk) 17:57, 21 May 2021 (UTC)


 * This is possible. I haven't been able to find a single example of a preprint being called a yellow paper before 2013. However, CERN has published for decades a so-called "Yellow Report", apparently with papers that for some reason or another would not have been appropriate for publishing in a journal(?).

"A white paper is the first document researchers should read to better understand a core concept or idea."
I'm not entirely sure about the use of the word "should" here. See the first point under WP:NOTHOW. I would make an edit, but I don't have the subject knowledge to decide what an appropriate replacement would be. AlexGallon (talk) 22:01, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
