I've been lead on a few research projects. I found it useful to require that all work be tied to work items in our project management tool. The work item would need to describe the purpose and hypothesis of the work and capture summary results. We then created a file structure that matched to our work item IDs for all work product created while working on that task. Towards the end of the engagements, we go through and find what's relevant and include those artifacts in our report with steps for reproduceability, assumptions, and other clarifying points that may be salient.

We also made good use of tagging features in our project management toolset to make report writing easier at the end of the project.
