    The Communicative Work of Biology-Journal Captions: Lessons for Technical and Professional Communication ↗
    Jordan Smith; Jo Mackiewicz; Derek Hanson; Shannon N. Fanning; Sara Doan
    Abstract

    The authors examined a corpus of figure captions from technical and professional communication (TPC)-journal articles to test their sense that TPC captions do not fulfill their communicative potential as well as, they sensed, journals in science often do. The authors performed a content analysis on captions from biology-journal articles and iteratively tested a coding scheme of caption content. The resulting scheme can help in analyzing caption content, developing captions, and imparting a variety of TPC-related skills to students.
