Elements of a Formal ReportENG 221Harold JimenezEmbry-Riddle Aeronautical UniversityFront MatterThe front matter includes: letter of transmittal, title page, table of contents, list of tables and figures, and abstract or executive summary.Letter of TransmittalThe letter of transmittal is addressed to the readers. This letter may give thanks to those that contributed to the report, include certain parts of the report that may interest them, discuss any challenges in collecting data, share personal insight, or insist readers take immediate action.Title PageThe title page includes the document title, names of the authors and their affiliation, and the date the report was proposed. The title page also uses words such as analysis or comparison. Avoid making the title long and it should be at the top of the page.Table of ContentsThe table of contents helps list all sections for the reader easily to find. It is not necessary to list the letter of transmittal, title page, or table of contents. When using numbers, ensure to use lowercase Roman numerals (i, ii, iii, etc.). Number pages using Arabic numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.). All headings and subheadings need to match and use leader lines to connect headings to the page numbers.List of Tables and FiguresFollowing the table of contents, list the tables and figures that were used in the report. If only used a few visuals, you can possibly fit on the same page as the table of contents. If not, just start on the next page.Abstract or Executive SummaryThis section gives an overall summary of the report. Some readers may not want to read the entire report. This part will summarize the issue, research, and conclusion. This section should be brief as readers can easily skip it to find the information they are looking for. Do not add any new findings to the summary.Text of the ReportIntroductionIt all begins with the introduction. This is where you discuss the background about the topic of your choosing. Explain the purpose of your topic. It should not be too long as readers can disengage. You want to keep the reader interested and may require being creative. Describe methods on your research and anything that supports it. Finally, end your introduction with a conclusion.BodyThe body will talk about all the topics related to what the report is about. Its what supports the definition and background. Everything written in the body needs to be in detail with evidence and resources to back it up. The reader needs to understand, so having facts or visuals will be helpful. First, state the topic. Second, define it. Third, discuss your findings. Fourth, discuss the interpretation. You may have to go in specified detail, depending on the topic and what you decide to write about. This part of the report is lengthy.ConclusionThis is where you conclude everything in the report. You will summarize the overall body, your interpretations are reliable throughout, and recommendations are dependable. You want to ensure logical results of evidence are mentioned in the report. Also, you do not want to introduce any new ideas in the conclusion.End MatterThis may include a glossary, appendices, and/or list of references cited in the report. GlossaryIf your report has more than five technical terms that readers many not understand, then include a glossary. If there are fiver or less terms, you can place them in the reports introduction.AppendicesOnly use appendices if the information is detailed where it can be distracting in the body of the report. Label using “Appendix A” or if there is more than one use “Appendix B” and so forth.References or Works Cited PageMore than likely, you will have this page in then end of your report. This is where you gather all the sources you have used and cite them here. If you list references, you must format in APA style. If you use Works Cited, then it mist be in MLA style.ReferenceLannon, J. M., & Gurak, L. J. (2013). Technical communication (13th ed.). New York, NY:Pearson/Longman.
