The leading text in technical writing since 1968, Reporting Technical Information covers basic strategies of composing, techniques of presentation, and document design. It also provides detailed analyses of document applications, including oral presentation, and features a complete handbook of grammar and usage. Appendices supply lists of technical reference books and guides along with a complete bibliography. This ninth edition of Reporting Technical Information places greater emphasis than any previous edition on international communication and the implications of global and multicultural correspondence. Documentation instructions include MLA style, Chicago Style, and APA style; a style guide for citing the Internet as a source is included as well.
The new edition includes material on writing collaboratively via email; synchronous discussions and FTP sites; and expansion of "electronic communication." The design of on-line documents has been added to "document design" and the treatment of graphical elements now includes electronic graphics programs. Instruction on using the Internet in job searches is featured as well. The ninth edition is supplemented by the Tech Community website http://www.abacon.com/techcommunity. Resources that support technical communication activities for both students and instructors can be found at this site.
