Digital Technical Standards Toolkit: List of publications

15 Jun, 2026

DTS Toolkit Publications Database

This database brings together peer-reviewed academic papers, reviews, and policy analyses that focus on digital technical standards and their development. It covers the work of major standards-development organisations such as ETSI, 3GPP, IEEE, IETF, W3C, ITU, ISO/IEC, and NIST. Each entry lists the title, authors, year of publication, and the standards organisations discussed. You can use the table to quickly scan the literature, search by author, topic, or standards organisation, and find works relevant to your teaching, research, or work with standards. The list is updated regularly.
However, given the large amount of standards-related research published each year in journals, conferences, and policy outlets, the database is not exhaustive, and some papers, especially very recent releases, non-English publications, and grey literature, may not be included. We welcome suggestions for additions to help keep the database as complete as possible.
