Abstract
In Chap. 9, we outlined how you might write about your research project, that is, how you might represent your work for different purposes and to different audiences. We gave a more extensive list of genres beyond the common scholarly journal or research report and then illustrated an example in Chap. 10. In this chapter, we focus on the more formal report genre as it often serves as a rigorous base from which you might extract or adapt for less formal mediums. This is not to underestimate the value of non-traditional genres or new media genres, and we encourage you to also explore these for wider public impact but only after learning more about their strengths, applications, cautions and limitations. However, for many of you, there will be requirements for formal reporting as the prime genre as you engage with and learn through PAtR.
