IMRaD Report v.s Research Paper

 Our second major assignment was a research paper on a topic that had to do with our field. It had to be 6-7 pages long. For major assignment three we had to do a mediation on the same topic as major assignment 2. mediation is different then most other writing formats but closest to a research paper. IMRAD is structured in a way that gives a lot of information in a way that is quicker then a research paper.
     IMRAD, like a research paper, is about collecting information and applying it to prove a point, but the IMRAD can show this in different ways. IMRAD reports have graphs and charts with still paragraphs of information. This allows readers to obtain more information from visuals. Although they both supply information the information is even diffrent between them. In IMRAD it is used mostly for scientific research and uses alot of statics for its answers. Research papers have a hard time doing this, but can apply more information on how to do things or things that require more words to prove.
