Structuring and Evaluating Scitech Communications

Wim G. B. Mandersloot ; Clive G. Bruckmann University of Pretoria

Abstract

The basis for effective scitech communications is formed by: focusing on the needs of the audience; structuring the substantive and language content accordingly; concentrating on accuracy, clarity and brevity; meeting logical requirements; and presenting in a communicative style and layout, including the use of visuals. In many scitech communications, the Appendix is the right place for detail not of immediate interest to most readers; this option is grossly under-utilized.
