Requirements for the preparation of a report on industrial practice. How to format an application into a practice report

General requirements

The practice report is drawn up in accordance with GOST R 7.0.5-2008 (Bibliographic link); GOST 7.32-2001 as amended. Amendments No. 1 dated 01.12.2005, IMS No. 12, 2005 (Report on research work); GOST 7.1.-2003 (Bibliographic record. Bibliographic description. General requirements and rules for drawing up).

Registration of the report begins 2-3 days before the end of the practice on the basis of the diary, in accordance with the schedule of its passage. The practice report should be 15–20 pages long.

The text should be printed, observing the following margins: right - 10 mm, top and bottom - 20 mm, left - 30 mm.

Font - 14, type Times New Roman.

Line spacing is one and a half.

Paragraph - 1.25 cm.

All pages are numbered sequentially. The numbering should be continuous from the title page to last page, including all illustrations, tables, etc. both within the text and in the appendix.

Pages should be numbered with Arabic numerals, observing end-to-end numbering throughout the text. The page number is put in the center of the bottom of the sheet without a dot.

Title page are included in the general page numbering. There is no page number on the title page. Practice report sheets are numbered starting with the "Contents" sheet.

Text alignment - in width.

Word hyphenation is not allowed.

The font color of the main text of the WRC is black.

The initial pages are arranged in the following order: title page, content, introduction, the main part of the practice report (in accordance with the tasks of the head), conclusion and attachments.

Allocation of headings of sections and subsections and their placement

Sections should have sequential numbers and are designated with Arabic numerals without a dot and written with paragraph indentation... Subsections should be numbered within each section. A subsection number consists of the section and subsection numbers, separated by a dot. A full stop is not put at the end of a subsection number. Sections, like subsections, can consist of one or more items.

Subsections within a section are two spacing after the end of the previous subsection on the same page if there is room for text on it. The presence of text outside of sections and subsections is not allowed, placement on different pages subsection heading and its text. Therefore, after the section heading, the name of the subsection is printed in two intervals, and then, after 1.5 intervals, the text of the subsection.

The headings of subsections and paragraphs should be typed with an uppercase (capital) letter without a period at the end, without underlining. If the title consists of two sentences, separate them with a period. If the title is 2 or more lines, then the spacing will be 1.5.

1 GENERAL PART

1.1 General requirements

The section (subsection) name is preceded by its serial number according to the content.

Example - 1, 2, 3, etc.

The names of individual components are not numbered parts of WRC: content, introduction, conclusion and list of used literature. Applications are numbered consecutively.

Design and numbering of illustrations, tables and formulas

All tables, formulas and diagrams included in the work should be drawn up clearly and accurately, provided with headings, numbered with Arabic numerals.

Illustrative material, contained in the report on practice, can be represented by drawings, graphs, diagrams, pictures, photographs, etc. Illustrations of any kind are called drawings.

All figures in the text should be referenced. Figures should be placed immediately after the text in which they are mentioned for the first time, or on the next page. Illustrations, with the exception of illustrations of the annexes, should be numbered with Arabic numerals consecutively. The figure caption is located below it in the middle of the line. The word "Picture" is written in full and its name is placed in the middle of the line under the illustration. There is no period at the end of the name.

The illustrations, if necessary, can have a name and explanatory data (figure text). The word "Figure" and the name are placed after the explanatory data and positioned as follows: Figure 1 - Details of the device

Figure 1 - Distribution of foreign investment by groups of regions, in%

The test should not contain illustrations in the form of diagrams, figures, tables, without links to them.

For clarity of presentation of the material, numerical values \u200b\u200bare recommended to be placed in tables. The title of the table should reflect its content, be precise and concise.

Tables are used for better clarity and ease of comparison of indicators. The name of the table, if any, should reflect its content, be precise and short. The table name should be placed above the table on the left, without indentation, in one line with its number separated by a dash.

All tables are numbered. Tables, with the exception of annex tables, should be numbered with Arabic numerals sequentially.

It is allowed to number tables within a section. In this case, the table number consists of the section number and the sequence number of the table, separated by a dot, for example, Table 1.1. The table should be placed immediately after the text in which it is mentioned for the first time, or on the next page.

The table is bounced off the text by an empty line above and below. The table must be necessarily aligned to the center of the page.

Table 1 - Number of resident population (thousand people)

Region names						Population change in relation to 1990 (thousand people)	Population change by 1990 (in%)

Continuation of table 1

It is allowed to use a font size smaller in the table than in the text. The font of the text in the table is 12, type Times New Roman. Interval - 1.0

The headings of the columns and rows of the table should be written with capital letter in the singular, and the subheadings of the graph - with a lowercase letter, if they form one sentence with a heading, or if they have an independent meaning. At the end of the headings and subheadings of tables, periods are not put.

Graph headers are written parallel to the table rows.

Table 1 - Number of students (people)

Entering empty columns and lines into the table is not allowed. If there is no data in any row of the table, then a dash (dash) is put in it.

The numbers in the tables are arranged so that the classes of numbers in all columns are located exactly one below the other: units under units, tens under tens, etc. In one column, the same number of decimal places must be observed for all values \u200b\u200bof quantities.

It is allowed to transfer the table to another page, observing the numbering of the columns and indicating "Continuation of Table 1" above.

Tables on the left, right, and bottom are usually delimited with lines.

If additional clarification is required in the report, it is allowed to issue it in the form of a footnote. The footnote sign is placed immediately after the word, number, symbol, sentence to which the explanation is given. The footnote sign is performed in superscript Arabic numerals with a parenthesis. It is allowed to use asterisks instead of numbers "<*>". It is not allowed to use more than three stars on the page.

The footnote is placed at the end of the page with paragraph indentation, separated from the text by a short horizontal line to the left. A footnote to the table is placed at the end of the table above the line indicating the end of the table.

Equations and formulas should be separated from the text on a separate line. Above and below each formula or equation must be left at least one free line. If the equation does not fit on one line, then it must be wrapped after the equal sign (\u003d) or after the plus (+), minus (-), multiplication (x), division (:) or other mathematical signs, and the sign at the beginning next line is repeated. When transferring a formula on a sign symbolizing a multiplication operation, use the sign "X".

Formulas should be numbered by ordinal numbering in Arabic numerals in parentheses in the rightmost position on the line.

Numbering of formulas within the section is allowed. In this case, the formula number consists of the section number and the ordinal number of the formula, separated by a dot, for example (3.1).

The order of presentation in the report of mathematical equations is the same as for formulas.

The values \u200b\u200bof the symbols and numerical coefficients included in the formula should be shown directly below the formula. The meaning of each character is given on a new line in the order in which they are given in the formula. The first line of the decryption must begin with the word "where" without a colon after it.

Break-even point calculation

TB \u003d Sc / (P - Sv), (1)

where TB is the critical production volume;

Sc is the amount of fixed costs;

P - price per unit of services of LLC "XXX";

Sv is the sum of variable costs per service unit.

Registration of transfers

Enumerations may be given within clauses or subclauses.

Each element of the enumeration should be preceded by a hyphen. If it is necessary to refer to one of the enumeration elements in the text of the report, instead of a hyphen, lowercase letters are put in the order of the Russian alphabet, starting with the letter a (except for the letters e, z, d, o, h, b, s, b).

For further detailing of enumerations, it is necessary to use Arabic numerals, after which a parenthesis is placed, and the entry is made with paragraph indentation, as shown in the example.

When you won the tender, you have, among other things, to prepare and sign with the Customer a state contract for the work, terms of reference and a schedule. These documents determine the order, sequence and essence of the work performed. In accordance with these documents, the acceptance of the results of the work is carried out, which must be presented in the report on the research work. All these documents are prepared by your organization, and then they are coordinated and approved with the Customer and the Monitor organization.

For participants who have won the competition for research projects for the first time, we post on the Expir website several publications explaining the procedure for preparing and maintaining research documentation. It is supposed to prepare materials on the following documents related to research and development:

Government contract;
Technical task;
Calendar plan;
Research report.

Documentation for research and development carried out under government contracts must be prepared according to certain rules and comply with the requirements set out in the tender documentation. The rules and requirements for the above documents are not always simple. We hope that the publications we have prepared will help with the preparation of these documents and serve as a useful source of information.

Research Report

A research report is a scientific and technical document in which the basic data related to research work is presented in a structured form: a scientific and technical problem is formulated, problems solved in the course of work are described; a description of the research process and the results obtained in the course of the work is given.

After completing the research, a final report is drawn up. If the Terms of Reference provides for several stages, then interim reports are drawn up based on the results of the stages. Terms of preparation of reports are indicated in the Schedule of the research work performed.

In the report on research work, materials should be presented in a systematic form. How this should be done is determined by "GOST 7.32 - 2001" - an official document that should be followed when preparing a report. Like every GOST, this document is very formalized. GOST 7.32 provides a detailed description of the procedure for drawing up a report, the structural elements of which the report should consist, the requirements for the structural elements of the report and the rules for their design. GOST 7.32 contains references to other state standards.

General structure of the report;
Requirements for the content of structural elements of the report;
Report formatting rules.

In these publications you will find all the information you need to properly format your research report.

General structure of the report

The report on research work on the structure, content and design is drawn up according to the rules determined by GOST 7.32 - 2001. The specified state standard was introduced on 01.07.2002, and it is this document that should be guided by when preparing materials for the report, and then when writing a report ...

State standard GOST 7.32 - 2001 is not the only document that must be followed when preparing a report. GOST 7.32 - 2001 also refers to other standards related to the preparation of scientific and technical documentation. True, not all of the standards listed in GOST 7.32 - 2001 are currently in force. Some canceled, some replaced with new ones. We will consider below how you can find the standards required for work and check their relevance.

This publication contains three sections.

The first section "Research Report" provides basic definitions, links to sources from which you can get additional information.
The section "Main provisions of GOST 7.32" considers where and what recommendations related to the design of the report can be found. For convenience, the material in this section is presented to sections that structurally correspond to GOST.
Appendix A lists the national standards that can be referenced in this publication, shows the current status of the listed standards, and provides sources where you can find the information required for the listed standards.

Considered below general structure report.

1. Research report

A research report is the official document that concludes a research or research phase.

The structure and rules for preparing the report are regulated by the interstate standard GOST 7.32 - 2001 “Report on research work. Structure and design rules ". The specified standard refers to the system of standards for information, librarianship and publishing. The standard was put into effect from 01.07.2002. instead of GOST 7.32 - 91 and is a 21-page document.

State standards are official documents, information on which (including free) can be obtained on the information portal on standardization federal agency on technical regulation and metrology (http://standard.gost.ru/). The official text of GOST 7.32 - 2001 is posted on the website of this agency. The same portal contains other reference information on standards. In particular, it is indicated whether the standard is currently in force, and if it is discontinued, which standard should be followed at the present time.

This publication suggests which sections of GOST 7.32 - 2001 should be guided by when preparing a report, but the official text of the standard should be read from the original source. You can also download the text of GOST 7.32 - 2001 from the websites of educational or scientific organizations on the Internet, for example, from here.

In GOST 7.32, as in other standards, it is written that partial or complete reproduction, duplication and distribution of state standards as official publications without the permission of Gosstandart of Russia is not allowed. Copies of the standard obtained from other sources on the Internet cannot be considered official documents.

GOST 7.32 - 2001 "Report on research work" contains references to other standards, their list is given below in Appendix A to this article.

How the report should be prepared:

How the report should be drawn up is determined in six sections of the main part of GOST. These sections are listed below:

Application area
Normative references
General Provisions
Structural elements of the report
Requirements for the content of the structure of report elements
Report formatting rules.

To clarify the application of the provisions set out in the main part of GOST, three appendices are given in its text:

Appendix A An example of drawing up an abstract for a research report;
Appendix B Examples of cover pages design;
Appendix B An example of a list of performers.

These appendices show examples that can be useful as templates when writing your own reports. It makes sense to familiarize yourself with these examples, and then (if necessary, and independently search for other examples on the Internet).

2. Basic provisions of GOST 7.32 - 2001

The standard defines all the information necessary for the correct execution of the research report. Pay attention to this information and this information is guided by both the customer and the organization-monitor when accepting the work. Therefore, the absence of some mandatory elements can delay or seriously postpone the acceptance of the work or stage.

2.1 Scope

This section refers GOST 7.32 to reports on fundamental, search, applied research work (R&D) in all areas of science and technology, carried out by research, design, design organizations, higher educational institutions, scientific-production and production associations, industrial enterprises, joint-stock companies and other organizations.

GOST 7.32 - 2001 does not apply to reports on research in the humanities.

This section of the standard contains documents (standards) referred to by GOST 7.32 - 2001. GOST was put into effect in 2002, therefore not all of the normative references listed in GOST 7.32 - 2001 are relevant to the present time. Many documents were amended (new editions), some of the documents were adopted anew, and some documents became invalid. A list of these documents is provided in the note to this publication. Links are also indicated there by which documents can be obtained (as mentioned earlier, it is better to obtain official documents on the website of the Federal Agency for Technical Regulation and Metrology http://standard.gost.ru/).

Pay attention to the standards you use. They are listed in various R&D documents. But you should always follow the standards that are currently in force when registering.

2.3 General

This section defines the concept of "Research report", correlates the writing of the report with the Schedule and Terms of Reference for research, determines the responsibility for the content of the data in the submitted report and responsibility for the compliance of the report with the requirements of GOST 7.32 - 2001. This GOST defines the obligatory conduct of standard control and recommends using for this GOST 2.111.

Note! The signature of the inspector must be present on the report.

2.4 Structural elements of the report

The R&D report must contain sections that are called structural elements of the report in GOST. GOST defines required and optional structural elements, naming conditions under which an optional element can be omitted.

The R&D report should contain the following structural elements (determined by section 4 of GOST 7.32-2001). A list of them with section and notes is given in Table 1.

Table 1. Structural elements of the report

	Structural element		Notes
	Title page		Required element
	List of performers		Required element
			Required element


	Definitions
	Designations and abbreviations
	Introduction		Required element
	Main part		Required element
	Conclusion		Required element
	List of sources used
	Applications

Non-mandatory structural elements are included in the report at the discretion of the R&D contractor, taking into account the requirements of Sections 5 and 6. The names of structural elements serve as the headings of the report. The title page is not named, and other structural elements should be named as in Table 1: List of performers, Abstract, Contents, etc.

ATTENTION! Mandatory structural elements are called mandatory because they MUST be present in the report!

2.5 Requirements for the content of the structure of report elements

GOST lists the structural elements of the constituent parts (sections) of the report. For definiteness, Section 2.5 of GOST defines what should be presented in each component of the report.

Here the content of each structural element is determined, it is indicated which information must be present, and which can be omitted. This section contains links to other standards. This section of the standard is quite extensive. It must be analyzed with examples, so it makes sense to consider it in a separate publication (see Requirements for the content of structural elements of a report).

2.6 Rules for preparing a report

IN p. 2.5 indicated what should be written in each component part of the report. IN p. 2.6 indicated as this information should be documented.

Report formatting rules are closely related to the previous section. As well as section 2.5, this section is quite lengthy and full of details. It covers:

general provisions;
rules for building a report;
pagination;
numbering of sections, subsections, paragraphs, subparagraphs of the report;
use of illustrations;
using tables;
use of notes;
registration of formulas and equations;
link design;
design of individual structural elements of the report (title page, list of performers);
registration of lists (designations and abbreviations, conventions, symbols, terms, units physical quantities);
drawing up a list of sources used;
application design rules.

This section, as well as the section "Requirements for the content of the structure of report elements", will be considered in detail separately (see Rules for Reporting).

2.7 Applications

The requirements for the structural elements of the report are voluminous, the design rules are numerous and abundant in details. Therefore, GOST 7.32 includes examples of the design of some structural elements of the report.

This section of GOST 7.32 provides examples of the design of some structural elements of the research report:

Appendix A: An example of drawing up an abstract for a research report
Appendix B: Examples of Cover Pages
Appendix B: An example of a list of performers

In many cases, these examples can serve as templates for reporting. In more complex cases, you should use the text of GOST 7.32 or look for examples on the Internet (specifying details in the text of the standard).

Research papers

Research Report

It makes sense to consider many details related to writing a report with explanations and illustrate with examples. Therefore, in a series of publications considering the "Research Report", the following are separately highlighted: - General structure of the report; - Requirements for the content of structural elements of the report; - Reporting rules.

In these publications you will find all the information you need to properly format your research report.

General structure of the report

This publication contains three sections. 1. The first section "Research Report" provides basic definitions and links to sources from which additional information can be obtained. 2. The section "Main provisions of GOST 7.32" considers where and what recommendations related to the design of the report can be found. For convenience, the material in this section is presented to sections that structurally correspond to GOST. 3. “Appendix A” lists national standards that can be referenced in this publication, shows the current status of the listed standards, provides sources where you can find the information required for the listed standards.

The general structure of the report is discussed below.

1. Research report

A research report is the official document that concludes a research or research phase.

State standards are official documents, information on which (including free of charge) can be obtained on the information portal for standardization of the Federal Agency for Technical Regulation and Metrology (http://standard.gost.ru/). The official text of GOST 7.32 - 2001 is posted on the website of this agency. The same portal contains other reference information on standards. In particular, it is indicated whether the standard is currently in force, and if its effect is discontinued, which standard should be followed at the present time.

GOST 7.32 - 2001 "Report on research work" contains references to other standards, their list is given below in Appendix A to this article.

How the report should be prepared:

How the report should be drawn up is determined in six sections of the main part of GOST. These sections are listed below: 1. Scope 2. Normative references 3. General provisions 4. Structural elements of the report 5. Requirements for the content of the structure of the elements of the report 6. Rules for preparing the report.

To clarify the application of the provisions set out in the main part of GOST, its text contains three appendices: - Appendix A An example of drawing up an abstract for an R&D report; - Appendix B Examples of cover pages design; - Appendix B An example of a list of performers.

2. Basic provisions of GOST 7.32 - 2001

2.1 Scope

This section refers GOST 7.32 to reports on fundamental, search, applied research work (R&D) in all areas of science and technology, carried out by research, design, design organizations, higher educational institutions, research and production and production associations, industrial enterprises , joint stock companies and other organizations.

GOST 7.32 - 2001 does not apply to reports on research in the humanities.

Pay attention to the standards you use. They are listed in various R&D documents. But you should always follow the standards that are currently in force when registering.

2.3 General

Note! The signature of the inspector must be present on the report.

2.4 Structural elements of the report

The R&D report should contain the following structural elements (determined by section 4 of GOST 7.32-2001). A list of them with section and notes is given in Table 1.

Table 1. Structural elements of the report

	Structural element		Notes
	Title page		Required element
	List of performers		Required element
			Required element


	Definitions
	Designations and abbreviations
	Introduction		Required element
	Main part		Required element
	Conclusion		Required element
	List of sources used
	Applications

ATTENTION! Mandatory structural elements are called mandatory because they MUST be present in the report!

2.5 Requirements for the content of the structure of report elements

GOST lists the structural elements of the constituent parts (sections) of the report. For definiteness, Section 2.5 of GOST defines what should be presented in each component of the report.

2.6 Rules for preparing a report

Clause 2.5 indicates what should be written in each component of the report. Section 2.6 specifies how this information should be formatted.

Report formatting rules are closely related to the previous section. As well as section 2.5, this section is quite lengthy and full of details. It considers: - general provisions; - rules for constructing a report; - pagination; - numbering of sections, subsections, paragraphs, subparagraphs of the report; - use of illustrations; - use of tables; - use of notes; - registration of formulas and equations; - links design; - design of individual structural elements of the report (title page, list of performers); - registration of lists (designations and abbreviations, conventions, symbols, terms, units of physical quantities); - drawing up a list of sources used; - rules for the design of applications.

This section, as well as the section "Requirements for the content of the structure of report elements", will be considered in detail separately (see Rules for Reporting).

2.7 Applications

This section of GOST 7.32 provides examples of the design of some structural elements of the R&D report: - Appendix A: An example of drawing up an abstract for an R&D report - Appendix B: Examples of title pages - Appendix C: An example of a list of performers

Upon completion of the research, it is necessary to submit a report on the work done. The form of the R&D report is determined by the Interstate Standard GOST 7.32 - 2001. It defines the requirements for the structure of the report and the rules for its execution.

A uniform clearance procedure was introduced to improve the efficiency of information exchange. For this purpose, the processing of reports in information systems is constantly being improved. The standard contains all the basic information for the correct design of the report. These points are paid attention to, and the Customer and the Contractor are guided by them. The absence of some mandatory elements of the report can seriously delay its acceptance.

Particular attention should be paid to the changes made to GOST 7.32 - 2001 (version 2006), according to which the last paragraph from Section 1 has been removed from the previous edition: "The standard does not apply to reports on research in the humanities".

Research report. GOST

A research report is an official document that describes the state of the problem, the nature of the work carried out and the results obtained. The final report is drawn up based on the results of the work as a whole and may include interim reports. This should be reflected in the Terms of Reference and calendar plan performing research. Research report structure should include the following sections:

Title page;
List of performers;
Abstract;
Content;
Introduction;
Main part;
Conclusion;
List of sources used.

In addition to the listed structural elements mandatory for all reports, there are also optional elements that are included in the report at the discretion of the contractor.

These include: definitions, designations and abbreviations, applications.

Title page

abstract

This section contains the following information: the volume of the report, the number of tables, illustrations, applications, sources used. At the end of the text, keywords are listed, the number of which can be from five to fifteen.

The abstract should reflect the object of the study, the purpose and methodology of the work, the results of the work performed, the scope and recommendations for implementation.

Introduction

The "Introduction" provides an overview of the current state of the problem under study and justifies the need for research work, shows the relevance and novelty of the topic.

Main part

The "main part" contains the following subsections:

Selection and justification of research directions, description of the general research methodology.
Description of theoretical and experimental studies, research methods and calculations.
Generalization and assessment of the obtained results of the research, determination of further areas of work and their technical and economic efficiency, comparison of these results with similar results of domestic and foreign studies. Negative results should also be indicated if they lead to the need to stop further work in this direction.

Conclusion

The conclusion contains the main results and conclusions of the work done both as a whole and its individual stages, an assessment of the results obtained and their comparison with the best domestic and foreign samples, recommendations for their implementation.

List of sources used

The list of sources used is given at the end of the text and is drawn up in accordance with general rules registration of a bibliographic list for printed works (GOST 7.1).

Applications

This section includes materials of the work performed, which for some reason cannot be included in the main text of the report.

What's included in the apps?

intermediate evidence, formulas, calculations, tables of numerical data;
description of instruments and equipment used in research, test reports, conclusions of metrological examination;
new techniques developed in the process of empirical research;

General requirements for the Rules for preparing a research report

The text of the report with illustrations and tables should be printed on sheets of A-4 format

(GOST-9327). In the case of a large number of illustrations and tables, it is allowed to use the A-3 format. Font in black only (bold not allowed), size - at least 12, spacing - 1.5. Margins in mm: left - 30, right - 10, top and bottom - 20.

Page numbering is continuous throughout the text of the report. The page number in Arabic numerals is placed in the center of the bottom sheet. The title page is included in the general page numbering, but the number is not affixed on it. Separate sheets with tables and illustrations are included in the general numbering.

Sections of the report are numbered and designated with Arabic numerals. Subsections have their own sequential numbering within a section and consist of a section number and a subsection number separated by a period.

The numbering of all pages of the report and attachments should be continuous.

All illustrations, which include drawings, diagrams, graphs, diagrams, photographs, and the like, must be placed immediately after the text in which they are mentioned for the first time. Each illustration must be referenced in the text of the report, and all of them are drawn up in full compliance with the requirements of the Unified System for Design Documentation (ESKD). The illustrations have a single sequential numbering, except for those illustrations that are given in the Appendices. If illustrations are separately numbered within a section, then they are numbered as in the Appendices: in Arabic numerals with the addition of the section or appendix designation before the number.

Formulas and equations are highlighted in a separate line, and explanations of the meanings of symbols are given under the formula in the same sequence as in the formula itself. Formulas are numbered in Arabic numerals in parentheses with a uniform numbering throughout the report at the end of the line. It is allowed to write formulas by hand in black ink.

References to sources that were used in the text are indicated under their ordinal numbers in the bibliographic list. The reference number is put in square brackets and is indicated in the order in which they are presented in the text of the report, regardless of division into sections. The list of sources used is placed at the end of the report, and the sources themselves are arranged in the order of their mentioning in the text.

In this article, the goal was to tell the reader which sections of the Gosstandart should be paid special attention to when writing certain sections of the research report. However, it is necessary to read and refer to the text of Gosstandart according to the original source. The official text of GOST 7.32 - 2001 is posted on the website: standard.gost.ru.
