PUBLICATIONS – Journal in Transition

Note: The journal Technical Communication, the official journal of the Society for

Technical Communication (STC), was a practitioner-oriented publication. In 1991, after

I proposed upgrading the journal to include more theory-based articles, the editor asked

me to create a new column, “Theory and the Profession.” Some of my articles for this

column underwent peer review and some did not. In 1995, the STC changed its journal

editorial policy to one of peer review. My efforts contributed in a significant way to the

upgrading of this professional journal for the Society for Technical Communication.
