Relativity is actually not a single paper, but a set of different theories.

'SRT' is usually used for Einstein's 'On the electrodynamics of moving 
bodies'.

And this paper does not deal with accelerated frames of reference.

If you want to refer to something  else, then please write to what paper 
you want to refer.

I wrote about Einstein's paper.

This is based on streight lateral motion with constant velocity in a 
force free space.
