RESEARCH REPORT PREPARATION · Workflow idea

Turn a research question into a report people can check and use.

Gather relevant information about a research topic and organize it into a clear, structured report with source references. Keep the draft available to the responsible researcher, who can check the evidence, correct gaps, and approve the exact report and recipients before it is delivered or shared.

  2. Gather relevant source material

    Collect useful references for the question and keep the source details available alongside the findings.

  3. Organize findings into a report draft

    Arrange the information into clear sections and identify gaps, uncertainty, or points that need further research.

  4. Verify claims against their sources

    Have a researcher check key facts, dates, quotations, and conclusions in the original material.

The handoff

A structured report draft with supporting sources, awaiting verification and approval for its intended audience.

Keep in mind

A polished report can still contain unsupported claims, missing context, or out-of-date information. Check important statements against the original sources, distinguish evidence from interpretation, and require approval of the exact document and recipients before any email, message, or other external delivery.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose topics and approved source types

Define the research subjects, source quality expectations, and any topics that need specialist review.

Set the report structure

Choose the sections, citation details, and level of explanation that make a report useful to its readers.

Keep drafts and sources appropriately restricted

Limit access to research material and unpublished reports to people who need them for the approved purpose.

Assign fact-checking and delivery approvers

Name who verifies findings and who approves the exact document and recipients before delivery.
