What is proper report organization?

[Mac1337]

I always forget. Is this the right sequence?

1-Title page/cover
2-Executive Summary
3-Acknowledgements
4-Table of Contents
5-List of Figures
6-List of Tables
7-Body
8-Bibliography

Is there more?

In most scientific reports, the acknowledgements go after 7-Body. However, this might vary based on the traditions of the field you are in. The rest of it looks fine to me.

Add an appendix to the end, if necessary.

Which field, specifically? Depending on how technical, this might not be a bad style guide to follow - http://forms.aps.org/author/styleguide.pdf

This is an engineering report. Interestingly, APS does not show a place for table of contents.

...and don't forget the green TPS cover sheet.
You did get the memo, umm, right?
I'll just resend it to you.
Mmm. Right.

[Zoidberg]

In the reports I set up for clients, there's a lot of variation, depending on the situation (some recipient agencies set their own requirements as to the layout) but that looks fine, with the addition of Z's Appendix, if necessary.


(I mean a document Appendix, not Z's actual appendix. Depending.)

[Z]

I'll offer my appendix for the report, as necessary.

Another style guide - more engineering based guide from ASCE - http://www.pubs.asce.org/authors/AuthorG...urnals.pdf

And I'd say that the need for a TOC, TOT & TOF varies with report size.
