guidelines. It is comprehensive and includes title pages, tables of contents, and

tone. Often used for internal communication, such as memos or emails.

the most common form of research reporting and can be distributed widely.

accompanied by visual aids such as slides. Common in conferences or meetings.

3. Internal and External Report:

clients, government bodies, or the public.

4. Long and Short Report:

Long Report: A detailed and comprehensive report that includes extensive data,
analysis, and findings. It is usually used for complex research topics or large
projects.

Short Report: A brief, to-the-point report that summarizes key findings and
conclusions. Often used for simpler or smaller projects.

5. Descriptive and Analytical Report:

Descriptive Report: Focuses on providing a detailed account of events, situations, or


data without offering any analysis or interpretation.

Analytical Report: Goes beyond description by analyzing the data, drawing


conclusions, and making recommendations based on the analysis.
6. Technical and Popular Report:

professionals in a specific field. It includes technical jargon, in-depth data, and
specialized analysis.

understanding or media dissemination.

Each type of report serves a different purpose and is designed for a specific
audience or context.
