Reporting can have different forms, or can be done in different types of final products.

When you report your findings, it is always essential that you think carefully about the structure of your whole story and of the paragraphs, as well as the lay-out.

Most written products have the following aspects:

• Introduction
• Theoretical underpinning
• Methodological choices and explanations
• Analyses of the research findings
• Conclusion and sometimes also a discussion

When writing a longer paper or a thesis, you can add the following aspect as well:

• Preface, postface and appendices
• Summary and/or an abstract
