Would you read a report someone wrote on the same research results. You need to know what editors look for. Is it impactful on the scientific community? Are the findings new? Are the results complete? Have all of the proper control factors been implemented? Evaluate the content of your report before your peers ever have the chance to do so. The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association recommends a few books on this subject.
