Abstract
This exploratory study used analytic induction to examine the content of seven prominent library research journals in terms of the characteristics evidenced in reports of research. It examines questions such as: How does one differentiate a research report from other types of scholarly writing? What are issues that impact success in effectively searching for and finding a report of research? Where might students encounter stumbling blocks in successfully reading and understanding a report of research? Implications from the findings of this study are generalized into recommendations for how academic librarians can apply their professional skill sets to aid students whether undergraduate, graduate, professional or doctoral to effectively find and successfully read reports of research.
