Write a good technical report
Gael D. Ulrich

Abstract
A good technical report can have an important effect on a wide range of people. Here are some techniques to help you prepare, choose a suitable structure, provide the right amount of information in the right places, and make your points with clarity. An informal style — using “I” and “we,” for example — is acceptable for technical reports and publications. To improve your writing, read good writing by others and invite criticism of your own; practice is important.
