A report is a formal, well-organized document that analyzes a topic or problem through a defined structure including a title page, contents, introduction, body, results, conclusion, and references. An article is intended for wider publication and aims to attract and retain readers through an entertaining style. It has a looser structure of title, introduction, body, and conclusion. While a report focuses on presenting research objectively, an article can include stories and descriptions to evaluate facts or discuss outcomes in a more subjective manner.
