How might an applied research report differ from a journal article?
What will be an ideal response?
Applied research reports are written for a different audience than the professional social scientists and students who read academic journals. Typically, an applied report is written with a wide audience of potential users in mind and to serve multiple purposes. Often both the audience and purpose are established by the agency or other organization that funded the research project on which the report is based. Sometimes the researcher may use the report to provide a broad descriptive overview of study findings that will be presented more succinctly in a subsequent journal article. In either case, an applied report typically provides much more information about a research project than does a journal article and relies primarily on descriptive statistics, rather than only those statistics useful for the specific hypothesis tests that are likely to be the primary focus of a journal article.
