This chapter discusses how to write research report after a researcher completes a research project and some issues in the politics of social research. Neuman also explains writing process for quantitative research in terms of abstract or executive summary, research problem, methods, result, discussion, and conclusions. For qualitative research report, he explains field research, historical-comparative research and emphasizes its difficulty to write a report but qualitative research has same purpose to clearly communicate the research process and the data collected through the process.

The issue for politics of social research was very impressive for me. I realized there are some limits on research or the dissemination of knowledge due to the influence of politicians and national security. These facts have been existed from the past until today. Sometimes good research can change people’s behavior for better society, but falsification or distortion of research result also can lead people to the wrong direction. For these reasons, Neuman insists academic freedom in this last chapter. According to his definition, academic freedom is the existence of an open and largely unrestricted atmosphere for the free exchange of ideas and information. As a beginning researcher I will keep in mind this advice for free research atmosphere.
