Guidelines for Preparing a Report
This guide was prepared in response to numerous inquiries received by PD&R's
Research Utilization Division (RUD) from HUD staff and contractors
about how to prepare reports for publication and about publication
standards and guidelines. Compiled in a single volume that
can be readily shared with others, the guide addresses a
variety of topics designed to answer frequently asked questions.
It goes through a typical report section by section, providing
explanations, tips, and guidance on formatting and style.
It provides suggestions for making publications ready for
timely Web posting and offers helpful hints for those asked
to prepare material based on research findings.
Although RUD's principal responsibility is
the dissemination of PD&R's research results, it also
ensures that PD&R's publications reflect HUD's graphic
and industry standards, that they are appropriately formatted
for printing, and that they are accessible on the Web
as quickly as possible. Your help in preparing print-ready
and Web-ready products will mean that we can spend more
time making sure the results of PD&R research are
available to those who can benefit from it.
We hope this publication is useful to you and
your contractors. It is a work in progress. As technology
and publication policies change, the contents will be
updated. And, of course, we're always interested in your
suggestions.
