My English teacher recently assigned us a research paper. She instructed us to make sure it was not a report. I am a little fuzzy on the difference though.

According to Jim Moore: "Like a report, a library research paper presents data and ideas (which are, however, typically drawn from several sources). Unlike a report, a research paper presents your analysis and interpretation of data and ideas found in a survey of the ... literature relevant to the topic of your paper. Analysis is the process of organizing and summarizing data and ideas in order to answer a question. Interpretation refers to a discussion of the meaning and implications of your answers for the issues, ideas, and problems that your paper addresses."

Research Paper Vs Report

A research paper is a paper that requires you to do research and have sources such as a book, internet source, encyclopdia, or magazine. A report paper is when you talk about a topic that may not require research. It can be a topic from a class reading.

A research paper is when you write about a subject that you want to know about or more about it.
The report would be on how you did the research on the subject and what the subject was in detail.

I agree with Jim Moore, the analysis and interpretation of the data gathered requires original thought and that, to me, is the whole point.
