Franklin Said:

how do you write up a scientific report?

We Answered:

Scientific research reports typically contain at least four sections: introduction, methods and materials, results, and discussion. Scientific publications often require an abstract that summarizes the report in 200 to 250 words. The APA Style Guide categorizes scientific reports as either empirical studies, review articles, theoretical and methodological articles or case studies. Scientific reports prepared for classwork or publication may be a combination of the APA types, and guidance on unique requirements should be requested from the university department, publication or instructor.
Things You'll Need:
• Style or format guide
• Reference information for background and citations
• Data and analysis
• Computer with word processing software that includes mathematical symbols.

How to Write a Scientific Research Report
1. Write your introduction. This section explains the problem under investigation, presents your hypotheses and summarizes previous, relevant research. In longer scientific reports, the background or previous research may be in its own section and should tie your work to the state-of-the-art in the area of inquiry.
2. Compose the methods section of the report. This elaborates on the techniques, processes or tests you used to confirm or reject your hypotheses and why these methods were chosen.
3. Report your findings. This section contains raw data usually in tables, lists and figures.
4. Discuss or interpret your results relative to the hypotheses. The section may also include a discussion of the significance of the findings and point to future research topics. If there are constraints on the extrapolation of your findings, place those in the discussion section.
5. Construct the bibliography or references used in your report. Carefully follow the citation guidelines in the approved style guide in preparing this list.
6. Write the abstract, if required. In publications, the abstract is a key report section because it is often what is provided to information browsers in lieu of the full text of your report.
7. Complete the title page for your report. The report title should summarize succinctly the main idea of your paper. The page includes your name and all co-authors and your institutional or organizational affiliation.
8. Format headers, subheadings, tables and figures according to the required style guide.
9. Review your draft for typographical errors, orderly presentation, correct and complete references and grammar.

Is this the right way to write up a lab report?

Well, that's how we write it in class. I don't think you missed anything, but your teacher might want it differently.

Harvey Said:

How long does it take for a police officer to write up a report so I can get a copy of the police report?

We Answered:

It depends on how modern your police dept is. With in-car computers, they can wrote up the report almost immediately, and certainly before the end of their shift.


It helps of you have the officers' name and report ##.

Benjamin Said:

Is it normal for officers to write up reports on traffic violations in California?

We Answered:

Depends on the agency and/or the officer's practice. Some agencies require reports for citations and others do not. I don't know how you know it's a three page report (maybe your other question will tell me, I haven't read it yet).

Is it normal? It completely depends on things neither one of us knows at this point.
