Subject: RE: Technical writing for finance: one for the Friday files
I find this discussion very interesting. You might want to consider an
article I read last evening on the miniscule amount of published research
results compared to the amount of field work in the HUGH field of
archaeology. The author's point was that most archaeologist hate to write
and love the field work. Therefore, much information is being lost because
they do NOT publish. His point is they need to hire writers (he did not say
technical writers but that's what he was talking about) to get this immense
job done and out there for public or at least university consumption.
