What are the Contents of a Research Report?

Chapter I
THE INTRODUCTION

Nature and Importance of the Study

The section should include what the research is all about. It should explain the
importance of the problem and why the researcher did the work. It should also
contain findings of previous authors who experimented on problems related to his
work. If the problem deals with an unknown crop a short description and
importance should appear in the first few sentences in the introduction. Introduction
should be as short as possible.

Objectives

This should state what the researcher hoped to come up with or accomplish. Evaluate,
compare, characterize, determine, develop or recommend are some of the useful
terms in formulating the objective.
In a student research, it is desirable to have a general objective if there are many
studies all leading to a common goal. The specific objectives would then refer to those
of a narrower scope of work.

Hypotheses of the Study

The hypotheses are propositions tentatively assumed in order to draw out
consequences based on factual observations. These are stated in the negative form.

Time and Place of the Study

This part contains information about the time and place where the study will be
conducted.

Scope and Limitation of the Study

The coverage and Limitations of the study should be clearly stated in this section.

Definition of Terms
The terms used in the research are defined operationally. This could be a sentence
by itself or part of a sentence mentioned in passing. This will ensure the readers to
fully understand the paper.

Chapter II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Characteristics of Related Materials

5
1. The surveyed or reviewed materials must be as new as possible. Limit the review
to the past 5 to 10 years as much as possible, except where there is none, there is
not enough review articles or historical facts and original discoveries need to be
cited.
2. Materials reviewed must be objective and unbiased. Technical journals are more
authoritative than popular journals. Use books and reviews with caution. Unless
essential or they will make the review better, never use magazines, newspapers,
pocketbooks and similar popular publications for business.
3. Materials surveyed must be relevant to the study.
4. Research findings must be state in your own words to suit the purpose of the paper
being written but care must be taken not to misinform the reader.
5. Use from five to ten related materials.
6. Reviewed materials must neither too few nor too many.

Organizing the Review

A review is not just putting together of literature or arranging these chronologically. It

is an organized and synthesized presentation of previous works. For a good
presentation, it is best to make an outline of the reviewed literature into topics.

1. In a student research, start the review by introducing an idea relevant to the topic
and use the reviewed literature to clarify, augment, support, or contradict the idea.
After the finished statements, enclose in parenthesis the author and year.
2. Present an idea per paragraph. Provide a smooth transition on using words such as
“In contrast”, “On the other hand”, “However”’ “Nevertheless”. Do not jump from tomato
to citrus, for example, with such transition.

3. Padded reviews are undesirable. A review is padded when there are so many
reviewed articles on the same specific subject. Two complementary citations from
independent workers are sufficient to present a subject but do not purposely hide a
third or fourth dissenting work. Complementary papers by the same author should
be limited and avoided if possible. Cite results but never tabulated data.

4. If a researcher fails to see the original material of a review obtained from a

secondary source (a paper cited by the author of the paper you read), write in the
literature cited the author and year of the secondary source (the article you have
seen) in parenthesis immediately after the original citation. For example, “Ledin, R.
B. 1958. Mango varieties in Florida. Hort. Adv. 11:16-26 (in Bondad, 1989). Do not
forget to write down to the complete citation of the secondary source in the list of
literature cited.

5. Citing word-for-word requires enclosing them in quotation marks. Acknowledge

sources of sentences, or sections lifted from texts or articles, as well as vividly
striking expressions. However, there is no need to acknowledge the source of well-
known facts such as the light reaction of photosynthesis or Mendelian inheritance.

6
Below is a sample of Review of Related Literature from the Undergraduate Thesis,
Effects of Different Storage Media on Some Post-harvest Attributes of Mango
(Mangifera indica) by Jay R. Talagtag, March 2000 (Excerpts).

In the study about the repining stage of mango as affected by the different storage
materials, it was found out that mango fruits stored in coconut sawdust exhibited
significantly longer storage life with a mean rating of 19.33 days, as compared to rice
bran with a mean rating of 15 days. In rice hull ash and fruits without storage materials,
the mean storage life was 11.33 and 6.66 days, respectively (Lalo, Malangis and Orilla,
1999).

Pyarom, S. (1989) stated that more matured fruits had weight loss significantly
higher than the less matured ones.

Perry as cited by Terrayo (1988) stated that ash was the organic residue resulting
from the combustion of wood and coal.

The last part of the review is the Relevance of the Review to the Study. This part
should contain justifications why the researcher chooses to include the reviewed
materials in the preparation of the research paper.

Chapter III
MATERIALS AND METHODS
(It may vary depending on what kind of research you are doing. You may consult your
subject teacher about this)

Materials

The materials used in the research, if there are should be classified and listed down
in this section, e.g. Laboratory apparatuses, fertilizer, crops, animals, etc.

Methods

Confine the methods to the things actually done. It should conform to the
objectives.
Replication and design are standard features of the materials and methods. The
cultivar used and basic experimental units like size of the plot and number of
samples used should be clearly defined.
Indices/rating and statistical analysis used should be stated.

Chapter IV
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The result answers the question “What did I observe?” while the discussion answers
“What does it mean?. The result and discussion is the heart of the publication. It
communicates the facts, measurements, and observations of the research worker.

7
The manuscript should present representative data rather than repetitive data. It is
not the amount of data presented but how meaningful the data was presented that
count.

There are two main ways of presenting data: tables and graphs. Tables are the
simplest way to present numerical data. They emphasize details better than graphs.
Never present a set of data in both table and graph in the same manuscript. Data that
are statistically insignificant are best presented in a table rather than in a graph.

Chapter V
SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Summary
This portion contains a brief description of the methods used in the study and the
findings.

Conclusion
This portion contains the outcome of the study; whether the hypotheses made were
rejected or accepted.

Recommendations
This portion contains what the researcher believes to be good piece of advice to its
intended beneficiaries based on the result of the study.

LESSON NO.2 REVISE WRITTEN RESEARCH

What is a revision of a paper of text?
To improve your paper, revision is necessary to polish it through completely. Several
steps in writing is involved. Revision is the process to drive your paper to better level.
IN revising, you will rework and rewrite sentences. You may revise the entire
paragraphs to improve your argument.

10 Things You Can Do to a Better Revise Your Paper

1. It is good to have someone else read your paper. Your researcher teacher may
critic your work. You may ask you language teacher to read your paper and ask
for some suggestions.
2. Go over your paper by reading out loud. Figure it out if it may sound right.
3. Thoroughly research the topic by reading the new credible sources.
4. After receiving some suggestions, create new outline by noting points you want
to hit.
5. Have someone else read it aloud to you, does it sound right?
6. Read the paper from the last word to the first word.

8
7. Consider your paper as a presentation. Think of it as if you were presenting in
an audience.
8. Provide a complete draft of new introduction and conclusion. Check if the
current paper aligned with the correct parts.
9. Be sure to proofread and edit as needed.
10. Set your paper aside for a day or longer and come back and read it through
fresh eyes.
