Abstract

As for any paper, the most important and time-consuming part of writing a research report is preparation and planning. This chapter provides advice and guidance on the overall preparation and planning of a research report. However, the preparation and planning of the Introduction and Discussion sections involves the same considerations as are involved in any literature review, and these are discussed in chapter 12. They are not, therefore, duplicated in this chapter.
