The production of scientific reports is one of the key skills that science students learn during their undergraduate years at university. From your first days at university you are bombarded with rules to follow when writing reports, from how to structure an introduction, to the correct citation of references. This site is intended to provide students with all of the information required to create well-structured and professional scientific reports. Often it is necessary to incorporate charts and tables into your reports to show experimental results.
Most undergraduates have to make do with hand-drawn illustrations in their scientific reports.
Alternatively, you can use the internet to track down photographs and other images to use in your reports. Go to the Graphics page to find out about how you can use computer graphics in your reports. The Formatting page will provide you with the information you ll need to produce professional-looking reports. It should be noted that this site was produced by a molecular biologist, and it follows that the information presented has a strong life-science emphasis. However, it is hoped that students of other disciplines will also find it useful.
