Report Writing Guide

Report Structure

1. Title

• Descriptive and specific
• Include the scope or time frame if relevant
• Example: "Advances in Protein Folding Since AlphaFold 3 (2024-2025)"

2. Executive Summary

• 2-3 paragraphs summarizing key findings
• Written last, after the full report is complete
• Should stand alone — a reader should understand the main conclusions

3. Body Sections

• Organize logically (chronological, thematic, or comparative)
• Each section should address one sub-topic
• Use inline citations [1][2] for every factual claim
• Include data, statistics, and direct quotes where appropriate
