An excerpt from the article: "White papers are in-depth reports that aim to educate and persuade readers about a specific topic or emerging technology. They are especially popular among corporations, particularly standards organizations, think tanks, and tech companies. "Often, white papers introduce new products, services, or concepts. They are effective when attempting to educate a particular audience or the general public about a technology or process innovation, particularly those that are truly disruptive and impactful."
