Research Report is an output that presents the findings of a research project. It is a written account of the research process that includes the research questions, methodology, results, and conclusions. Research reports may vary in length and complexity, depending on the purpose of the research and the intended audience. At Dvara Research, we write reports in a formal and objective style, and they are often used to communicate research findings to audiences who are non-academic, such as governments, policymakers, and other stakeholders.
