ABSTRACT
A research report contains many items including findings, analysis, interpretations, conclusions, and at times recommendations. These can be presented to the management either in a written form or communicated orally. Long reports are more detailed than short reports. They can be further subdivided into Technical reports and Management reports based on the objectives of the researchers and the end users. A monograph is a treatise or a long essay on a single subject. For the sake of convenience, reports may also be classified either on the basis of approach or on the basis of the nature of presentation such as Journalistic Report, Business Report, Project Report, Dissertation, Enquiry Report or Commission Report and Thesis. Charts and graphs in a research report tend to translate numerical information into visual form for better understanding of the subject matter. A letter of authorization is a letter from the client to the researcher approving the project and specifying some of the details.
