Research Reports and Notes

Research Reports and Notes should conform to their stated purpose:

  • to provide a brief research report or note that offers a commentary on a technique or method that will assist other researchers,
  • to identify and offer guidance about a new archive or body of research material/data, or
  • to offer a complementary note on major research that will assist in the interpretation of that research in a manner that is designed to facilitate understanding rather than critique it.

  • Title of report or note

  • A statement indicating that the report or note is original, has not been published elsewhere and is not currently under review elsewhere.
