ABSTRACT

An important part of your research is being able to communicate your findings to others through the process of presenting the research, whether in the form of a report, dissertation, journal article, presentation or other such format. It does not matter how wide your reading has been, or how good your data collection, if the report is poorly written – you must ensure that you do not let yourself down in the final write-up. This chapter will guide you through the process of writing the report, and highlight some of the problems that you may face, so that you can present a final report that will do the many hours spent undertaking the research justice.
