Four Points to Remember in Writing a Research Report
Four Points to Remember in Writing a Research ReportIf you want to write a good, well-written research report, then you need to get a number of things right. First of all, you need to write a research report that is organized and well-organized. Second, you need to write a research report that has a clear theme.Research should be written from the perspective of an objective outsider. When you write a research report from an insider's point of view, you're missing a key point. From the outsider's point of view, you're not as objective because you're projecting your own bias onto the document. From the inside, your knowledge, your perspective and your viewpoint are biased. Your personal biases show up in the research, but from the outside, they are hidden.When you write a research report that is organized and well-organized, then you are using the point of view of an outsider to understand the overall structure and content of the document. The research should be organized so that each section comes from the perspective of the reader who is looking for that specific piece of information. It should be organized so that the reader can easily follow what you've presented to them, so that it flows well.On the other hand, a research paper that is poorly organized will give the impression that the writer doesn't know how to organize his or her work. Therefore, the overall effect will be one of disorganization, confusion and clutter. All of those things lead to poor, inconsistent quality, and no amount of organization and organizing can make up for it.Third, you need to remember that your viewpoint comes from the 'inside' of the project - when you're doing the work, it's easy to project your own point of view and focus. But when you're presenting the findings to others, you're presenting as the viewpoint of the readers. Therefore, you need to project this viewpoint so that it's clear from the first paragraph. The result will be better quality, consistency and professiona lism.The fourth point to remember is that research paper has a theme. In your research, you should be looking at something that has some sort of relationship to your product or the industry in which you're working. For example, if you're researching what new technology can do for your products and services, you'd better be looking at something that directly relates to your product or service. From the perspective of the outsider, a research paper that is related to the product or service will come across as professional, organized and coherent.Finally, when you write a research report that has a theme, you are writing it from the perspective of someone who is an insider. You don't want to project the viewpoint of someone who isn't an insider. You'll waste everyone's time and yours. From the viewpoint of an insider, you'll be better able to make a decision about whether to invest time and money in the product or service, and you'll be better able to know why they invested their time and money in it.It doesn't matter whether you're writing a report for a college class, a company, a government agency or another organization. If you want to write a good research report, then you need to get all four points right. If you want to do it well, then you need to learn how to use these four points and how to use the five other points to make your research report better.
