• This chapter explains how to produce an effective research report, and describes the structure and presentation of a good dissertation. Students' dissertation is supposed to do a number of different jobs: it describes students' research; it discusses the background to the work; it considers the implications of their findings; it details their methodology and instrumentation; it demonstrates their expertise. Harvard system involves a very brief mention of a publication in the text of the dissertation, and an alphabetical list at the end of the text giving full publication details of all the items referred to. Students' dissertation essentially involves two elements: the research project and the research report. The purpose of the report is to tell people about the research that students have done. The chapter helps students to make the very best of their project by producing the best report they possibly can.
