I’m a few years late on this, but one of my tech comm students used this as part of her hypertextual final project at the end of the fall semester, and I thought it was too good not to pass on.

The Technical Communication Research Landscape

Ann M. Blakeslee

Abstract

This article reports data from questionnaires assessing the day-to-day experiences that members of the technical communication field have in carrying out their research. The data revealed that most members experience at least some frustration and numerous constraints that prevent them from doing the kinds and amounts of research that they want to do and that may affect the quality of their research. In short, technical communication scholars face an array of challenges. This article presents examples of these challenges and ideas that respondents had both for lessening the challenges scholars face and for better preparing graduate students. It suggests several practical initiatives for addressing these challenges along with realistic strategies for implementing those initiatives.
