This resource prepares technical communicators to work effectively in scientific and medical discourse communities. It covers writing and editing documentation; researching scientific and medical literature; and working with data and statistics to develop grounded arguments, with the goal of facilitating the publication of journal articles and conference materials in science and medical contexts.
Grounded in research findings from technical communication, rhetoric, linguistics, and medical communication, this work fills significant gaps in current academic training, and explains the practical and theoretical information required to communicate effectively in scientific and medical communities.
