A research report is basically a book that reports on the conclusions of a particular study or rather scientific findings on or regarding a specific topic.
The main components that constitute a research report include the title, the body and the conclusion. The title is the most important part, as it sets the theme of the whole report. The body consists of the data and supporting details to justify the title of the report. The conclusion restates the main conclusions of the whole report including any recommendations that were made in relation to the data and its supporting circumstances.
Research Reports is divided into two types of qualitative data and quantitative data. In order to quality check the accuracy of the data and the methods used by the researchers, Qualitative Research Reports require extensive experience in the field, as the procedures involved in conducting qualitative research are very different from that of quantitative data. The methods used in quantitative research reports are more precise and hence requires the researchers to have extensive knowledge in the subject area concerned along with relevant references that substantiate the statements made in the paper. Quantitative research reports are prepared for regular Research Issue papers.
