Research Reports by U.S. Congress and UK House of Commons by Gary Price.
Gary’s post covers the Congressional Research Service (CRS) (US) and the House of Commons Library Research Service (UK).
Truly amazing I know for an open and transparent government like the United States Goverment but CRS reports are not routinely made available to the public and so we have to rely on the kindness of strangers to make them available. Gary reports:
The good news is that Steven Aftergood, director of the Government Secrecy Project at the Federation of American Scientists (FAS), gets ahold of many of these reports and shares them on the FAS website.
The House of Commons Library Research Service appears to not mind officially sharing its research with anyone with web access.
Unlike some government agencies and publications, the CRS and LRS enjoy reputations for high quality scholarship and accuracy. You still need to evaluate their conclusions and the evidence cited or not, but outright deception and falsehood aren’t part of their traditions.
