     interesting alternative for an important section.

     choice for research aimed at a general audience.

7— The questions address issues of relevance to everyday 
      readers, not just medical experts.

8—Simple contrast of one color with black ink is visually 
     appealing.

     important for any research report to have complete

      accessible to a wide audience.

      links stand out on the bottom of the page.

Research Report

DISCLAIMER
The sample research report above is NOT mine. I took it from a Technical Writing book I bought but couldn't really find where it is now thus making it difficult for me to cite the source.
This presentation is intended only for information dissemination especially my class.
Once I have finally found the book, I would immediately cite the sources.
