Major Assignment Instructions - Laboratory Report
The laboratory report is based on Tutorial One from Week Two titled "Post-harvest Physiology of Fruit and Vegetables: Moisture Loss". It is expected that the report will be written in the form of a scientific paper, with academic writing style, and using Vancouver referencing throughout the report.
Word Limit: 1500 words (not including abstract, text within tables and figures, or references).
Please follow the marking criteria as identified in the document Marking Scheme for Laboratory reports.
The laboratory report should be organised into the following sections:
• Abstract (200 words or under): The abstract should provide a brief introduction to the topic of interest, a clear statement of the specific objective or aim of the study, a brief and concise outline of the methods used, and reporting of the key results. The abstract should also provide a one-sentence conclusion.
• Introduction: The introduction should provide brief background information to the report and clearly identify the significance of the project within the context of the previous literature in the area. It should be adequately referenced. The introduction should finish with one to two sentences stating the aims and objectives of the study.
• Methods: The methods section is a concise summary of essential experimental procedures (verbatim reproduction of the instructions in manual is not allowed) and may include references. There is no need to cite the laboratory instructions. It is important that any changes to the published procedures (of the laboratory notes) are briefly described. The purpose of this section is to provide enough information and detail to allow a competent worker in the field to reproduce the experiment. The methods should be written in paragraph form.
• Results: The results section may include all three forms of data representation (text, table and figure) [Note: this does not mean that you have to include all three types of data representation]. More detail is provided below. The text before each data set should summarise the presented data and the observations. The author's interpretation of the data should always be described in the text, but the results are not to be discussed at this stage. Figures and tables have to include title and number (Figure 1, Table 1...). Figures should be accompanied by a figure legend (which includes the title of the figure) placed beneath the figure and clearly distinguishable from the main text of the results section. Tables should have a title placed above the table and tables should not be broken across pages.
• Discussion: The discussion should discuss the interpretation of the results, with emphasis on highlighting any important findings and any inadequacies of the data. Referral to the literature to support the arguments is essential, as well as addressing of the aims presented in the introduction section. It is recommended to discuss the most important limitations of the study before the conclusion. Complete the discussion with a final sentence (or two) presenting the overall conclusion of the experiment with reference to the original aims. The conclusion should not include references.
• References: Please use Vancouver style only. There is no minimum or maximum recommended number of references to be used, although it is reasonably expected that you would need to use at least six references to support your work. Support any claims made within the text with references. Use academic sources only. Do not use blog posts, newspaper articles or .com websites as references.
