Does an internal report count as a publication? I worked in an academic laboratory for several months for an undergraduate research experience. The results of my project were not novel enough to be published in a journal. However, I wrote a 50-page report that detailed my project (technical details of the experimental apparatus, design considerations, important calculations, etc). 

The report is meant to be a reference for future members of the lab.


Does this count as a "publication" that I could put on my graduate school applications? It is not peer-reviewed except for having been read over by the lab PI and other lab members.
Is this type of document commonly considered a 'technical report', 'internal report', 'scientific report', or by some other name?
I authored the report by myself but other members of the lab helped extensively with the project. If I list it under "publications", should I put only my name or the names of all those who contributed to the project?


I am planning to upload the report to my public web page, but it is not otherwise hosted online.

Normally CVs have areas for journal articles, conferences, and "unrefereed publications".  I would think the same would be true of an application.  Certainly worth listing.

Usually this depends on the institution.  If you called it a technical report, it's a technical report.  If you didn't call it anything, I'd say "internal report, XYZ lab" sounds about right.

If you were the sole author listed in the report, you should list yourself as the sole author when putting it on the CV/application.  Perhaps you should have included coauthors; if so, if it's not too late, maybe you can amend &amp; reissue it appropriately.
