About Our Publications

CCST is dedicated to providing impartial expertise that extends beyond the resources or perspective of any single institution. Publications are produced in compliance with a rigorous study process and peer review process.

To provide sound, science-based input to the State of California, CCST ensures all of the following in our full, commissioned reports:

  • We convene world-class experts to develop the assessments
  • We ensure full disclosure of conflicts of interest
  • We conduct thorough, objective work based on scientifically sound principles
  • We ensure rigorous peer review before reports are published

CCST is proud to uphold these standards in all of our work and ensure the best input to policymakers, leading to policies made stronger with science — in California and beyond.
