# academic Produces a **formal academic research report**: a scholarly write-up for a research or technical-expert audience — peers who will scrutinize method, evidence, and the limits of each claim before accepting it. Its center of gravity is the **IMRaD structure plus mandatory citation discipline** — the report is not conformant if any claim goes uncited, or if the chosen citation style is applied inconsistently. This genre follows the general IMRaD (Introduction/Background, Methods, Results, and Discussion) scholarly-paper convention, with a selectable citation style. ## Pattern (industry: IMRaD scholarly paper, selectable citation style) 1. **Abstract** — 150-250 words: question, method, principal findings, conclusion. 2. **Background / Related Context** — what is already established and the gap this report addresses. 3. **Method** — how the reported evidence was gathered and verified; state the verification approach and how contested or weakened evidence was handled. *In APA mode (optional), expand Method into the APA sub-sections* — **Participants**, **Materials**, **Procedure**, **Analysis** — when the work warrants them. 4. **Findings** — the evidence, organized by theme or dimension. Each claim cites its source and, where evidence is contested, reports the verification status. 5. **Discussion** — interpretation, limitations, threats to validity, and open questions. 6. **References** — full citation list. ### Citation style — selectabl
