The report it's a written document in which all the data inherent to an investigation or study that was carried out on a subject or topic are dumped; the report is always preceded by an investigative task. Meanwhile, the mission of a report is to inform someone, a superior, a company that hired us, among others, about the fact under study.
The most remarkable thing about this type of text is the versatility that characterizes it since its structure and format are plausible to be used in the most diverse areas, that is, the report is not an exclusive work of one area, far from it, but it can be used in countless areas and situations, whenever it is necessary to transmit the information, the conclusions, among others, obtained after a study.
Medicine, politics, justice, economics, the media, among the fields with which we interact the most, are some of the ones that use reports the most in their daily work.
The doctor we consult for abdominal pain, to corroborate the diagnosis, may send us to perform an abdominal ultrasound. Meanwhile, this type of practice in medicine is always accompanied by a report that explains everything that is seen in the images.
Both the ultrasound images and the report should be taken to the doctor to interpret the result obtained.
Science also tends to use the report after the culmination of some experimentation on a topic to precisely dump the details of a discovery, the phases that were followed to achieve the finding and the conclusions.
In justice, it is in another area where the report is widely used by defense attorneys and prosecutors to expose a matter related to the accusation or defense before the courts or the judge who have the responsibility of issuing themselves on the case that follows.
