COMPONENTS OF A RESEARCH REPORT: Before starting to write a research report, the student should make sure all their data is analysed and ready to be presented in form of graphs and charts in chapter four On this page, we are going to look at the components of a research report.
COVER PAGE: For any research project, a cover page will display the topic of the research project, the credentials of the researcher that is, the names and registration numbers where applicable, the date when the report was compiled and submitted and the institution under which the research is being conducted.

APPENDIX III: MAP OF THE DATA COLLECTION AREA: The map showing data collection area is very important to the readers of your research proposal or report in that, it gives a picture of where the data was collected basing on the readers perspective about the places known. Usually, they will be two or three maps one showing the Country and the district or region of data collection and where applicable, the map of the District and then the map of the data collection area.

APPENDIX IV: BUDGET OF THE RESEARCH PROJECT: The budget is simply put forward for any researcher to ensure that the expenditure for the research study will be favorable. It should be noted that for any research project, a very high expenditure that will not be affordable by the student is as good as not conducting the study at all.
