 Research Report -is a long, formal essay, usually five to fifteen pages in length, which presents the writer’s

’s views and findings on a


chosen subject. However, it is not just a long composition which follows the principles of good writing. It is a scholarly work and not
just a collection of notes lifted from many different sources and strung together, one after the other.
Components of a research report
1. Title -It reflects the content and emphasis of the project described in the report. Similarly, it should be as short as possible, including
essential key words.
2. Abstract -It is an overview of the research study and is typically two to four paragraphs in length containing 200-300 words. Think of
it as an executive and technical summary that gathers the key elements of the remaining sections into a few sentences.
3. Introduction -It provides the key question that the researcher is attempting to answer and a review of any literature that is relevant. In
addition, the researcher will provide a rationale of why the research is important and will present a hypothesis that attempts to answer
the key question. Lastly, it should contain a summary of the key question following the completion of the research.
4. Methodology -This is arguably the most important section for two reasons: (1) it allows readers to evaluate the quality of the
research, and (2) it provides the details by which another researcher may replicate and validate the findings. Typically, the information
in the methodology section is arranged in chronological order with the most important information on top of each section.
5. Results -In longer research papers, the results section contains the data and perhaps a short introduction. Ideally, the interpretation
of the data and the analysis is reserved for the discussion section.
6. Discussion -This section is where the results of the study are interpreted and evaluated against the existing body or literature. In
addition, should there be any anomalies found in the results, this is where the authors point them out. Finally, it is an attempt to connect
the results to the bigger picture and show how the results might be applied.
7. References -This section provides a list of each author and paper cited in the research report. Any fact, idea, or direct quotation used
in the report should be cited and referenced.
