What will be an ideal response?


Answer will include that a research report consists of the abstract, introduction, method, results, and discussion sections. Research reports begin with a very brief summary of the study and its findings called the abstract. The abstract allows one to get an overview without reading the entire article. The introduction describes the question to be investigated and provides background information by reviewing prior studies on the same or related topics. The method section describes the specific procedures used to gather data, so other researchers can repeat the study. The outcome of the study is presented in the results section with data being statistically analyzed and often presented in graphs or summary tables. In the discussion section, the results are discussed in relation to the original question with implication of the study explored and future studies proposed.
