The Research Report

According to the Merriam-Webster's Dictionary​, research is the collecting of information about a particular subject and studious inquiry or examination.

Conceptual questions help readers understand the subject better, while practical

questions offer or give readers information on how to address or fix a problem.

Research is about summarizing all the data gathered from different sources.

Coherence is achieved when all the supporting details of the report connect with the main idea.

It is enough to state in the research report that the ideas you mentioned are not entirely yours.
