Learn Unbound Report Format

Short reports are often prepared without covers or binders. If they consist of more than one page, the pages are usually fastened together in the upper left corner by a staple or paper clip. Such reports are called Unbound reports.
Standard Margins
Unbound reports have standard margins.
FIRST PAGE:
Side margins: defaults (or 1�)
Top margin: default + 6 hard returns (or 2�-line 13)
Bottom margin: at least 1� (6 lines)
Page number: often not used
SECOND PAGE AND SUBSEQUENT PAGES:
Side margins: defaults (or 1�)
Top margins: default (or 6 hard returns-line 7)
Bottom margin: at least 1� (6 lines)
Page number: top right (at default top and right margins; or 1�-line 7)
Internal Spacing of Reports
QS (4 hard returns) between report title and first line of body. DS multiple-line titles.
DS between side headings and following text and between paragraphs. Key paragraphs DS unless otherwise directed.
DS between page number and text on the second and subsequent pages.
Textual (Within Text) Citations
References used to give credit for paraphrased or quoted material are cited in parentheses in the report body. The textual citation method is rapidly replacing the footnote method because it is easier and quicker to use. Textual citations
Include the name(s) of the author(s), the year of publication, and the page number(s) of the material cited.
Quotation marks are used for direct quotes of up to three lines within text but not for paraphrased material or a long quotation (four lines or more) set apart from text. Key such long quotations SS, block them at paragraph point, and run the lines to the right margin. Use and ellipsis (�) to indicate any material omitted from a quotation:
The ability to proofread accurately is one of the most important skills for. . . daily activities that involve working with written communication. (Jones and Kane, 1990, iii)
Reference Lists
All references cited in a report are listed alphabetically by author surnames at the end of a report (often on a separate page) under the heading REFERENCES (or BIBLIOGRAPHY or WORKS CITED). QS between the heading and the first reference.
Use the same margins as for the first page of the report, but key a page number at the default top and side margins (on line7 at 1� right margin).
SS each reference; DS between references. Begin first line of each reference at left margin; indent other lines to paragraph point.
If the reference list appears on the last page of the report body, QS between the last line of text and REFERENCES.
