    Types of Research Reports

    • These documents (e.g. Theses/Dissertations/Projects) are typically presented to assessment bodies at various levels:
      • PhD
      • Masters
      • Undergraduate projects.
    • Other forms include journal articles, posters, conference oral presentations.

    • In some regions, "thesis" and "dissertation" are used interchangeably.
    • The research's depth/scholarship level influences the award granted.

    Dissemination of Research Reports - Introduction

    Dissemination of Research Reports

    • Research findings are communicated through research reports that describe what was studied, how it was studied, and the results.
    • Reports on quantitative studies can often be challenging for readers not versed in research methods.
    • Researchers use various methods, with theses, dissertations, books, conference presentations, and journal articles being the most common.

    Conference Presentations

    • Conferences provide a significant platform for disseminating research information.
    • Results are disseminated more quickly compared to journal publications.
    • Opportunities for dialogue between researchers and attendees are present.
    • Presentations can be oral or in poster format.

    Oral Presentations

    • Research findings are presented at conferences via oral presentations.
    • Presentations follow formats similar to journal articles.
    • Presenters typically have 10-20 minutes to cover key study features.

    Poster Presentations

    • Multiple researchers concurrently present their studies using visual displays; conference attendees explore these posters.

    Journal Articles

    • Research journal articles summarize studies within professional journals.
    • Typical articles are concise, mainly 10-20 double-spaced manuscript pages.
    • Researchers summarize substantial study data into a brief format.

    Content of Research Journal Articles

    • These reports typically follow the IMRAD format:
      • Introduction
      • Methods
      • Results
      • Discussion
    • The title, abstract, and references are also included in the article.

    Summary

    • This session clarified research reports derived from studies, including project reports, theses, and dissertations.
    • Dissemination involves publications in research journals, oral, and poster presentations.
