Position paper

A position paper is an essay that presents an opinion about an issue (typically that of the author or another specified entity). Position papers are published in academia, in politics, in law and other domains.

Position papers range from the simplest format of a letter to the editor through to the most complex in the form of an academic position paper. Position papers are also used by large organizations to make public the official beliefs and recommendations of the group.
