Class 4

The topic “Presentation of the research or innovation report” will begin. The main objective is that at the end of the week, you can identify the aspects that should be considered in the preparation of the final report of an investigation by reviewing how ideas are presented and debated, how conclusions are reached, and adjustments are made.

The research report or results report has excellent weight since it allows decisions or action strategies to be created based on the research results.

Communicate the Results

One might think that the investigation is over once the results are known. However, this is not the case since it is necessary to communicate the results, which must be clear and understandable for those who read the research report.

The context in which the report is presented

The context in which it will be presented must be considered; it can be academic or non-academic (with the rigor or flexibility each would entail).

Academic Context

The report should be written for professors, researchers, and university students with a command of the subject comparable to the researcher. Research reports have an educational purpose that could be turned into theses, dissertations, scientific journal articles, studies for government agencies, technical reporting centers, and even books.

Non-Academic Context

Suppose the research report will be presented within a non-academic context; in that case, the research is usually for the commercial or public interest. It is aimed at newspaper or magazine readers or entrepreneurs who have reduced time to review it and are not experts on the subject.

What Should the Investigation Report Address

What Should the Investigation Report Address? It must describe the study carried out. That is, what was investigated, how the investigation was conducted, what results and conclusions were obtained, and what benefits could be obtained from the research.

When writing the research report, the researcher faces the challenge of structuring or hierarchizing the information collected, considering the information he could not find without foreseeing it.

To write the report, it is necessary to have a preliminary outline or guide, where the information of the entire investigation is ordered and systematized, from the cover to the conclusions, where the most important discoveries of the research are presented and reinforced.

In most research projects, some debates will argue for or against the findings, so it is best to write them so that there are no weak points and that the research is valid and interesting.
