程序段。研究報告的第二個主要段落詳盡，帶著盡可能多的資料，指出這項研究是怎樣確切地進(jìn)行。這個段包括任何必需設(shè)備的描述，如果項目被使用這個項目是怎樣被選中的，什么樣的統(tǒng)計技術(shù)被使用來評估這個發(fā)現(xiàn)的意義，做了多少觀察，在什么時候觀察的，等等。一個各種游泳的相對有效性的調(diào)查會有詳細(xì)的游泳者的數(shù)字、測試時天氣的狀況以及任何其他參與實驗的所有因素。程序段的目的是允許讀者復(fù)制這個實驗，如果你的發(fā)現(xiàn)期待肯定或者反駁的話。
Results Section. The third, and perhaps most important, section of the research report is the presentation of the results obtained from the investigation. The basic rule in this section is to give all data relevant to the research question initially asked. Although, of course, one’s natural tendency might be to suppress any findings which do not in some way support one’s hypothesis, such dishonesty is antithetical to good research reporting in any field. If the experiments undertaken fail to prove anything, if the data was inadequate or contrary to expectations, the report should be honestly written and as complete as possible, just as it would be if the hypothesis were totally proven by the research.
結(jié)果段。第三段，可能是最重要的。研究報告的這一段是對于從調(diào)查中獲得的結(jié)果的表述。在這一段的基本規(guī)則是給出與起初問到的研究問題相關(guān)的所有資料。當(dāng)然，研究報告的自然傾向應(yīng)該是隱藏任何從某些方式上不支持其假設(shè)的發(fā)現(xiàn)，但如此不誠實的是與任何領(lǐng)域優(yōu)秀的研究報告相對立的。如果實驗開始失敗于證明任何事情，如果資料是不充分的或者與期待相反，這個報告應(yīng)該誠實地寫進(jìn)來，而且像可能的那樣完整，要像這個假設(shè)被研究完全證實了一樣，如實地寫進(jìn)來。
Discussion Section. The final required section of a research report is a discussion of the results obtained and a statement of any conclusions which may be drawn from those results. Of primary interest in business and technical research reports is the validity of the results as the bases for company decisions: Will our planned construction project meet federal environmental guidelines and be approved for building? Will this new program attact skilled personnel to our company? Will this new oil recovery technique be financially feasible? Thus, the discussion section of the research report must evaluate the research results fully: were they validly obtained, are they complete or limited, are they applicable over a wide range of circumstances? The discussion section should also point out what questions remain unanswered and perhaps suggest directions for further research.
討論段。一個研究報告的這個最終需要的段落是所獲得的結(jié)果的討論或者是一個可能取自那些結(jié)果的任何結(jié)論的陳述。在商業(yè)和技術(shù)研究報告中，這個段的基本興趣是結(jié)果作為公司決策基礎(chǔ)的有效性：我們計劃的建筑項目將符合聯(lián)邦政府的環(huán)境指導(dǎo)方針并被批準(zhǔn)施工嗎？這個新項目將能吸引有技術(shù)的全體人員到我們公司來？這項新的石油恢復(fù)技術(shù)在經(jīng)費上將是可行的？所以，這個研究報告的討論段必須充分評估這個研究結(jié)果：它們是被靠得住地獲得？它們是完整的或是有限的？它們適用于一個寬泛區(qū)域的情形？這個討論段也應(yīng)該指出什么問題留著沒有回答以及為進(jìn)一步研究可能提及的方向。
