Publications and collections are the content we most often publish on GOV.UK

How we use publications


We use publications for:

  • publishing standalone government documents - they are date-stamped, and usually not updated once published
  • white papers, strategy documents and reports

...

HTML publications are presented on GOV.UK just like other document formats (such as PDFs) except they are created in HTML format.

How we use collections


Document collections can be used to group content together if:

...

  • to group documents that are only linked by a common theme - in this case a topic page or policy is appropriate
  • to group parts of a single document, instead add all the attachments to one publication page

How to ensure pages display correctly in search engines


Titles of documents should be 65 characters in length, maximum.

...

This makes it more difficult for the user to clearly locate the information they are looking for.
