Report Series Template and User Guide

Rigorous format requirements for the publication series ensure consistent presentation, compliance with NPS graphic identity and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act requirements, and correct creation of the final versions of the report.

We are in the process of switching to a new software system, which utilizes an MS Word template. A user guide for the template is also available. Please follow the instructions that are embedded in the report templates. Reports not meeting the format requirements may be returned to the author or submitter for correction.

Submit your report for final publication using the online Manuscript Submittal Form (DOI only). Peer review mangers, program managers, and report collaborators listed on the MSF will also be emailed during the final publication review process.

If you have any questions, contact the series manager, Fagan Johnson.


A Note on Process Transition and InDesign: If you began a report in InDesign prior to January 2024, please contact the series manager to obtain permission to submit your report as part of the previous publications process.
