Another popular form of secondary sources of information is a report or a review.
A report is a brief interpretation of the content of the original in a written form or
orally. It also has particular features:
1. It gives a reader an objective idea of the original source.
2. It presents the main facts of the original.
3. It represents some peculiarities of it.
4. It shows many questions of the original.
5. It helps to get rid of making a full translation of the text.
Written reports are documents which present specific, focused contents – often the
result of an experiment, investigation, or inquiry – to a specific audience. The
audience may be public or private, an individual or the public in general. Reports are
used in government, business, education, and science. Reports often use persuasive
elements, such as graphics, images, voice, or specialized vocabulary in order to
persuade that specific audience to undertake an action. One of the most common
formats for presenting reports is IMRAD: Introduction, Methods, Results and
Discussion. This structure is standard for the genre because it mirrors the traditional
publication of scientific research and summons the ethos of that discipline. Reports
are not required to follow this pattern, however, and some do use the problem-
solution format. Additional elements often used to persuade readers include: headings
to indicate topics, to more complex formats including charts, tables, figures, pictures,
tables of contents, abstracts, summaries, appendices, footnotes, hyperlinks, and
references. Some examples of reports are: scientific reports, recommendation reports,
white papers, annual reports, auditor's reports, workplace reports, census reports,
trip reports, progress reports, investigative reports, budget reports, policy reports,
demographic reports, credit reports, appraisal reports, inspection reports, military
reports, bound reports, etc. With the dramatic expansion of information technology,
and the desire for increased competitiveness in corporations, there has been an
increase in the use of computing power to produce unified reports which join
different views of the enterprise in one place. Termed Enterprise Reporting, this
process involves querying data sources with different logical models to produce a
human readable report. A computer user has to query the Human Resources databases
and the Capital Improvements databases to show how efficiently space is being used
across an entire corporation. Enterprise Reporting is a fundamental part of the larger
movement towards improved Business Intelligence and Knowledge Management.
While reports can be distributed in a printed form or via email, they are typically
accessed via a corporate intranet. A technical report (also: scientific report) is a
