In the introduction of a research report, the term "literature review" is deliberately avoided because it implies a synopsis of one study after another, along with considerable integration and synthesis of the findings.

Literature Review

A comprehensive survey of scholarly articles, books, and other sources relevant to a particular topic or research question.

Synthesis

The combination of ideas, data, or methods from different sources to create a new understanding or approach.

  • Understand the structure and critical components of a research report, including the abstract, introduction, method, results, and discussion sections.
