Academic Research Report Writing
What is report writing?
An academic report is a structured document that presents information, analysis, and findings on a specific topic or research question. It is typically written in a formal style and follows a clear format, including sections such as an abstract, introduction, methodology, results, discussion, and conclusion. Academic reports are commonly used in educational and research settings to communicate the outcomes of investigations, experiments, or studies, and they emphasize evidence-based reasoning, critical analysis, and clarity of presentation (AEUK, 2025).
