The Journal of Business and Technical Communication keeps you informed about the latest communication practices, problems, and trends in both business and academic settings or sectors. This important publication covers written, oral, and electronic communication in all areas of business, science, and government.Founded almost four decades ago to meet the growing demand for research and analysis in this expanding field, the Journal of Business and Technical Communication covers topics of fundamental interest and key issues, such as managerial communication, ethics of business communication, technical communication practice and pedagogy, intercultural communication, and visual design in business and technical communication. A valuable resource for educators, researchers, scholars, managers, technicians, and practitioners, the Journal of Business and Technical Communication offers a wide range of scholarship that probes current problems and methods. It focuses on article-length studies that present the latest research in business and technical communication, and also includes short Approaches and Practices articles that list instructional tips and industrial how-tos. It also publishes Book and Software Reviews that critically examine the book and software markets. The journal occasionally publishes Commentaries, or opinion pieces that address issues of importance to the profession, as well as Comments and Responses, exchanges between readers and authors that add insight to recent work.Articles in the Journal of Business and Technical Communication have frequently won professional awards, such as the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) award presented nationally for excellence in publications in technical and scientific communication.
