    Standard Format

    What is the standard format?

    Most reports contain the following sections:

    (Sections in bold are essential; the rest are optional depending on the content and purpose of
    the report)
    1. Title
    2. Table of Contents
    3. Abstract (or Executive Summary)
    4. Introduction
    5. Main text
    6. Conclusions
    7. Recommendations
    8. Bibliography
    9. Appendix
    It is essential that you write your report so that its order conforms to the above format. The
    following guidelines will be useful when compiling your report.

    1. Title

    Make sure that the title accurately reflects the subject of the report. It can take the form of a
    statement or a question, but keep it brief!

    Add your name, as the author, the date of presentation, and details of the person or
    organisation for whom the report has been prepared.

    2. Table of contents

    This should be on a new page and is only included if the report exceeds 10 pages. List the
    headings you have given to each section of the report, together with its page number. Begin
    numbering the pages at your introduction. Anything before the introduction is given a Roman
    numeral.

    3. Abstract (or Executive Summary)

    This section should be written last, when the whole of the report has been completed. Its
    purpose is to summarize all the essential points of the report, including the conclusions, in the
    briefest possible way. It should make sense when read in isolation, so should not be just a list
    of the headings, or in note form. The recipient of the report should be able to conclude from
    the abstract whether it is worthwhile reading the whole of it.

    4. Introduction

    The introduction must set the scene for the reader. It should explain why the report has been
    written, give background information on the subject matter, and explain the method of
    investigation used.

    5. Main text

    Here is where you will detail your key findings. Remember to use headings and subheadings
    to separate different sections. Each section will cover a different topic or idea and be
    numbered accordingly.

    1 Licensed premises
    This is...................................................................
    1.1 Clubs
    There are numerous..............................................
    1.1.1 Private Members Clubs
    Several examples of these......................................
    1.2 Pubs
    New ones are opening............................................
    Bear in mind that you need to describe, analyse, interpret and evaluate the data you have
    found, and the methods you have used. This should lead logically and inevitably to your
    conclusion. Deal only with proven facts and avoid giving opinions at this point. Use graphs
    and illustrations if you think they will clarify any points. You must also avoid manipulating
    the text to support a conclusion you have already reached.

    Demonstration and implementations will be described in this section.

    6. Conclusion

    This should sum up the main points of your report. Note that it is not the place to introduce
    new material. However, you can express opinions, provided that you have the evidence to
    support them. The conclusion you come to should substantiate the points made in the main
    text. You may wish at this point to make recommendations which arise naturally from your
    conclusion.

    7. Recommendations
    Recommendations should be suggestions for improvements or future actions, based on the
    conclusions you have drawn earlier. Not all reports require recommendations, but if they are
    to be included, you might wish to highlight them by putting them in a separate section.

    8. Bibliography

    The bibliography lists all the publications either cited in the report or referred to during its
    composition. If you are unsure about compiling a bibliography click here.

    9. Appendix

    This contains material, referred to in the report, which would interrupt the flow if it were
    included in the main body of the text. For example, statistical data or calculations,
    questionnaires that you have used, a glossary of technical terms.
