Why the writer chose to look at that particular area with brief
r e f e r e n c e t o p r i o r research done in the field
Research Design
A description of the research design should make it clear whether the
s t u d y i s exploratory or conclusive in nature and whether it is case, statistical, or
experimentalin design.
Data-Collection Method
In this section the writer should state how he carried out his enquiry, what form didthe
enquiry take, did he carry out interviews or questionnaires, how did he collect hisd a t a ,
what measurements did he make, how did he choose the subjects for
h i s interviews. These should be logically and concisely presented in the appendix,
wherethey will not break the continuity of the report.

Sampling
In describing the sampling procedure, it is first necessary to indicate the nature of
theuniverse studied. The exact sampling units, such as stores, consumers, or
businessexecutives, must be defined and the geographical limits specified.
Next, the writer should describe the size of the overall sample and of each sub
sample and shouldexplain the reasons for their sizes.
Fieldwork
In describing fieldwork methods, the writer needs to tell readers enough to give
somei d e a o f t h e a c c u r a c y w i t h w h i c h t h e w o r k w a s d o n e . T h i s w i l l
u s u a l l y i n c l u d e a description of he number and type of field-workers used;
how they were selected,trained, and supervised; and how their work was verified.
Analysis
A report includes an analysis of its data and interprets the meaning of the data so
thatthese data can be used to make decisions. If any special, statistical
techniques havebeen used, they should be mentioned.
Appendices
Appendix contains supplementary information needed to support the
m a i n b o d y o f t h e reports but the information is too voluminous and at the same time
not important enough tobe included in the report itself. Statistical data, charts
and diagrams, questionnaires, cover letters, supplementary tables, complicated
statistical procedures, working papers, copies of secondary research, legal
documents and so on that are not incorporated in the main body of the report in order to
keep the main line of argument free from being entangled are put at theend in the form of
appendices.
Reference
Here the writer must give details of work by all other authors, which includes

What are criteria you are using to evaluate your method?
D e s c r i b e t h e experimental methodology that you used. Exactly what performance
data did youcollect and how are you presenting and analyzing it? Comparisons
to competingmethods that address the same problem are particularly useful
