Issues in Writing is a semiannual, refereed journal devoted to
the study of writing in science and technology, government, education,
business and industry, the arts and humanities, and the professions. The
journal seeks:
-
To provide insights for teachers in all disciplines who
must prepare students to write effectively in their fields;
-
To encourage discussion of writing in ways that cut across
disciplines, definitions, and traditional boundaries;
-
To publish contributions by all members of the writing
community, including those professionals who work in non-academic
situations.
We have two general audiences. The one is teachers and other
academics concerned with the teaching of writing. The second is a broad
audience of professionals, scientists,
government employees, institutional staff members, and others involved in
public life to
whom writing is of significant concern. These professionals write as
part of their work; many train other employees to write for a variety of
audiences and purposes. Our audience then is a cross section of
professionals.
