Developing research skills is an essential element of any undergraduate course in the social sciences and learning to write the research report is a key part of that skill set. The best designed and delivered study is only as good as the report that is written about it afterwards. Despite this, guidance on report writing is something of an afterthought in your typical research and statistics textbooks relegated to a chapter or two at the end. Writing reports aims to give the complex process of report writing the attention it deserves, taking you step-by-step from the first page of the introduction to the last page of the appendix.
This book will guide you through all of key sections of the report including Introduction, Method, Results, Discussion and more. To help you get to grips with report writing Dr Cathal O'Siochru draws on more than 10 years of experience helping students from their first steps to graduate level and beyond. Each section of the report is explored and explained in a straightforward style and illustrated with examples to show you the principles of report writing in action.
While other books on the topic cater only to the experienced student Writing reports has something to offer everyone from the first time writer struggling to master the basics to the experienced writer moving toward publication. Each chapter contains instructions and advice aimed at three different levels of report writing experience.
The Basics – Aimed at a first-time report writer this will cover the basic purpose and structure of each section of the report as well as looking at some of the most common mistakes made by first-timers.
Refinements – Moving on from the basics this will help you refine your report writing skills, to go beyond avoiding mistakes and instead find your own confident voice in the reports you write.
Advanced – For the more experienced researcher you will find advice and insight here to help you get to grips with the more complex issues likely to be relevant at the level of dissertation, postgraduate thesis or published article.
So whether you are new to report writing, badly in need of a refresher or looking to improve your style (and your grade) then this book can help you take your research reports to the next level.
