Introduction "Statement of the
Problem
This section introduces the project. This usually
occurs with an opening discussion of previous
research, or with a discussion of why the work
was undertaken. The topic is typically introduced
in terms of a basic research question, defined in
terms of an independent and dependent variable
(or set of variables). The section also may
include a narrative as to why answering the
question would be interesting or useful. If there
is a personal interest for the author(s), or a
compelling public interest in the answer to the
research question, this is often stated. The text
also includes a brief overview of some existing
literature and usually begins or ends with the
framing of the research question.
Research Objectives should be clear
and achievable.
The objectives may be specified in the
form of either statements or questions.
Generally, they are written as
statements, using the word to. (For
example, to discover , to
determine , to establish , etc. )

briefing
This section illustrates a basic assumption:
You are not the first person to ever examine the
relationship between the independent and
dependent variable in the research question.
The intent of a new piece of research is to
expand the scope of previous research, or to
extend the logic of other work in a new
direction.
Hypotheses
Limitations of the study
Selection of cases/participants
(sample and population)
Key concepts
Methods
This section describes what you did,
how you did it, gives strategies,
sample calculations, diagrams and
circuits, and descriptions of
equipment. The goal here is to give
the reader sufficient information to be
able to repeat your work if desired. (Of
course some "standard techniques"
can be simply referenced).
DISCUSSION

Includes analysis, interpretation and


meaning of findings
Determine the implications of the study
including whether the hypotheses were
supported or should be rejected
It is appropriate to discuss both theoretical
implications and practical applications
Brief discussion about limitations and
proposals for future research
New hypotheses may be proposed if the data
do not support the original hypotheses
THE PURPOSE OF A CONCLUSION
The purpose of a conclusion is to tie
together, or integrate the various issues,
research, etc., covered in the body of the
paper, and to make comments upon the
meaning of all of it. This includes noting
any implications resulting from your
discussion of the topic, as well as
recommendations, forecasting future
trends, and the need for further research.
References
This section provides a list of each author and paper cited
in theresearch report. Any fact, idea, or direct quotation
used in the report should be cited and referenced.
References (as long as necessary, beginning on a new
page)
