The results of SIPRI's research are disseminated through the publication of books and reports as well as through symposia and seminars. SIPRI's publications, press releases, brochures, fact sheets and other information material are distributed to a wide range of policy makers, researchers, journalists, organizations and the interested public. The Institute has forged its profile by concentrating on present-day realities, providing unbiased facts to states and individuals.

SIPRI's main publication, the SIPRI Yearbook, was first published on 12 November 1969. The SIPRI Yearbook serves as a single authoritative and independent source to which politicians, diplomats and journalists can turn for an account of what has happened during the past year in armaments and arms control, armed conflicts and conflict resolution, security arrangements and disarmament. The SIPRI Yearbook provides an overview of the entire field of developments in international security, weapons and technology, military expenditure, the arms trade and arms production, and armed conflicts, along with efforts to control conventional, nuclear, chemical and biological armaments.The Yearbooks are used by governments, arms control negotiators, United Nations and OSCE delegations, parliaments, scholars, students, the media and citizens as 'unique and indispensable' reference works.

SIPRI Research Reports is a series of reports on urgent arms control and security subjects. The reports are concise, timely and authoritative sources of information. SIPRI researchers and commissioned experts present new findings as well as easily accessible collections of official documents and data.

SIPRI Policy Papers is a series of brief reports, with policy recommendations, on topical arms control and security issues from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.

The SIPRI Chemical & Biological Warfare Studies series cover a wide variety of issues related to the work of the CBW Project. The early years of the CBW Project saw the publication of the six-volume series The Problem of Chemical and Biological Warfare, which is available on a single CD-ROM.

SIPRI has published over 150 other books, including numerous volumes containing conference proceedings, and over 30 research reports, brochures and fact sheets during its 40 years of existence. SIPRI books are sold in bookshops throughout the world.
