  1. IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication Jun 1987
    Writing to persuade ↗
    J. W. Gilsdorf
    Abstract

    Technical communication may be chiefly informational in intent, but there are persuasive elements in almost all communications. Sometimes, even in technical matters, persuasive communication skills are very important. The author provides arguments for improving these skills, discusses a number of mini-strategies that can be used to persuade the recipients of written communication, and touches on the ethics of using persuasion tools.
