There are four types of notes that you may need to take for your research report. The type of note you should take is determined by the requirements of your research report. For your research report, you can mix and match any two sorts of notes. Paraphrase, direct quotation, and personal remark are the four types of notes for the research report.
You're already aware that you must take a single note on a single sheet of paper and write crucial facts about the note on the page's corners. These crucial elements will also include the type of note:

A final note
You may have written summaries as a student; the guidelines for writing a summary are the same here. The following features should be present in the summary note: It should be shorter than the original text, reflect the author's point of view but in your own words, and adhere to the author's original structure of ideas.
To create a summary note, you'll need to be able to read and write well. The goal is to pick the most significant aspects and leave out the minor information.
When there are a lot of information and students feel that there are too many topics to cover in the research paper, they usually create a summary note.

A word of caution
A paraphrase restates the original text in your own words, but the note's length remains the same as the original text. Keep in mind when writing a paraphrase that you do not have to interpret it in your own terms; instead, you must follow the author's ideas and thoughts.
When you wish to reduce the language and make it more clear, you should create a paraphrase. You might wish to rephrase a technical paragraph in layman's terms so that your audience can comprehend it. Poetic expressions may also be translated into prose; for many individuals, prose is easier to grasp than poetry. The goal of paraphrasing is sometimes to make the material simpler to read and evaluate.

An example of direct quoting
A direct quote is a word-for-word reproduction of material from a book, newspaper, journal, or other source. Not only the text, but also the punctuation, should be meticulously observed as in the original source. When utilizing a direct quotation in your research paper, you must be very careful to give full and due credit to the author of the quote.
You may need to write a direct quotation in your research report in a variety of scenarios. For instance, suppose you need to write about a contentious issue and wish to prevent any prejudice by altering some terms. When you have to write about anything where accuracy is critical, you can find a straight quotation useful. When you come across a flawless piece of writing that cannot and should not be modified, you may also utilize a direct quotation.
When taking a direct quotation note, use the same rules as when taking a summary or paraphrase note. Write down the complete citation for the quotation, as well as the fact that it is a quotation.

A personal remark
Your study work will become more personal and distinctive as a result of your remarks. In your research report, you must provide your own findings and views. When we are reading about a topic, we frequently have some ideas about it. When you have any thoughts and insights regarding the subject, jot them down on a note card. This can come in handy later when you need to put down your findings. These thoughts, if not carefully recorded, may be forgotten. Because you cannot rely on your memory, it is best to be safe and record them. A personal comment is simple to record, but it will come in handy later when you're summarizing the whole study report.
