A report is a summary of the content of a scientific work or works of specialists on a selected topic, a review of the literature of a certain direction. Such a review should give the reader an idea of the current state of the science problem, including a comparison of specialists' points of view, and be accompanied by his own assessment of their reliability and credibility.
