How to issue the report correctly?

The report is a rather brief coverage of the chosen topic. Almost every schoolboy, student or scientist is familiar with this form of scientific work. Despite its simplicity, the report should be written according to certain rules. Today we will tell you how to draw up a report.

Often educational institutions or scientific conferences publish methodical instructions on writing reports, which clearly indicate all the requirements. In some cases, there are specific rules for registration. We will offer you a standard variant of writing a report.

How to make a report ?

The report consists of the following parts:

• title page;
• The content of the work;
• text;
• List of sources.

The report should not have a large volume. The maximum number of pages is 20, but in most cases it should be limited to ten. However, with such a small volume, it is necessary to correctly and capaciously state the whole essence of the topic covered. The report does not imply the existence of serious studies, fundamental conclusions or complex calculations.

How to make a report to an educational institution or to a scientific conference? Let's consider the basic requirements.

The text is printed in the text editor Word. The font size should be 14pt. The font itself is Times New Roman. It is better to choose a one-and-a-half line spacing, then the text will be better read. The fields on the page are selected as standard for Word.

It is advisable that there are not more than five paragraphs on the page, so do not break the text too much. Each paragraph is printed from the red line. Indentation is performed automatically, rather than manually using spaces.

Each section of the report is printed from a new sheet. All pages should be numbered starting with the content. The title page is also taken into account when numbering, but the number on it is not set.

The text should be clearly divided into the introduction, the main part and conclusions. In the introduction, the author is obliged to acquaint his listeners with the topic, to mention the scientists working on this problem, as well as the basic concepts that will be discussed later. Also in this part raise questions to which the author in the work will try to give answers.

The main part covers the topic from different angles. Text can be split into sections for ease of perception. In the content it is necessary to indicate all the points and subparagraphs of their work, if any.

The conclusion contains conclusions and recommendations. We should not talk about what was not mentioned in the main part of the report.

Before writing a job, ask the supervisor how to arrange a report. Each school can have its own requirements and rules. In some cases, for example, you may require, in addition to the printed version of the report, an electronic version on any storage medium (disk, floppy disk, flash drive).

How to apply for a cover page?

It is from the front page that you begin to get acquainted with your report. If it is made inaccurately or not according to the rules, then the opinion about your work may be spoiled before acquaintance with the text.

So, what should the title page of the report look like? You are required to indicate all the necessary information in a certain order.

1. Full name of the educational institution. It is written at the top of the page in the middle. All letters must be uppercase.
2. Further, also in the center of the page from above is indicated the department on which the author is trained
3. In the center of the sheet, you must write the type of work (in this case it is a report), the discipline by which the report and the topic are written. It is better to allocate the topic in bold or large font for accentuation.
4. At the bottom of the page on the right side, you must specify the author's surname and initials. If the author is a student, then the class or faculty, course and group are also prescribed. Also in this part it is necessary to write down the surname and initials of the teacher checking the work. It is necessary to indicate his position and scientific degree, if any.
5. At the very bottom of the page in the middle the name of the locality where the educational institution is located is printed, as well as the year of delivery of the work.
