Dear Colleagues,
Good Day,
"Research paper" can mean almost anything, including: working paper (a manuscript that has been written but not yet published); technical report (published by the author's organization, or self-published, without peer review); conference proceeding (usually peer reviewed, but standards for acceptance vary widely); and journal article (typically peer reviewed).
Attached is a very useful paper regarding: Writing a technical paper or Note.

Hello
Very important question but the answer is pretty much simple. Research paper is first a personal thing - a research undertaken by a researcher or group of academic or professional researchers for mere academic purposes and which explores a theoretical, conceptual or empirical aspect of a phenomenon. This paper can be published in any outlet the author/s decide/s to publish in. Whereas a technical report is not personal or individual kind of research. It is sometimes called a scientific or even a position paper. Firstly, it is commissioned by a formal or institutionalized body but employs the use of academic or freelance researchers or research assistants for this purpose, eg. consultancy work. The purpose of such report may be to provide comprehensive working document to tackle an organisational or institutional issue or problem or to map out important policies that can drive change in such a place or a field of work. Technical report is not the work of any one person; it is a team work submitted to an official body and which is hoped to influence decision making or policy making. Publication of this kind of report is the sole prerogative of the official body that commissioned such reports to be undertaken in the first place.
Cheers.
A technical report/paper/note technically is a research paper following the same format/structure. However, in content, it differs from the research paper in that it reports success/failure of new methods/modes/instruments used for the purpose they were devised.
