ABSTRACT
ScientiŽc articles in scholarly journals, magazines, and conferences are a very special kind of technical writing. Senior, masters, or doctoral theses also fall into this category. These writings tend to have longer “life spans” as they are archived in digital libraries for search and retrieval by other scholars, in perpetuity. The archival aspect of these kinds of writings differs from the technical writings that you are likely to produce at work. Some of your work writing will be archived by your company, customers, and perhaps your company’s legal counsel, but such writings are not intended for public scrutiny.
