 RESEARCH REPORTS
Research is a systematic and scientific way of investigating and
gathering information to answer a particular problem, establish
facts, and reach conclusion. Conducting a research can be done in
various fields such as arts, humanities, social sciences, natural
sciences, technology, and health sciences.
 Sample research papers in various fields :
• Survey Report. A paper which presents the results of the author’s
research.
• Field Report. It is usually used in the field of social sciences to link
theory and application. It usually contains the author’s observations
when out on the field and an analysis using theoretical concepts
from the discipline.
 Sample research papers in various fields :

• Laboratory or scientific technical report. It is written

by those in the sciences mainly to persuade others to
accept or reject a hypothesis, record the details for
future researches, and document a current phenomenon.
 Sample research papers in various fields :

• Research Report. It is an expanded paper that presents

results and interpretation of a phenomenon so that
readers can better understand it. It is produced through
formal investigation and scientific inquiry.
