Technical writing is used in all fields of science, technology, agriculture,
engineering and social sciences. From a simple work assessment report
to a highly technical write-up, reports are a common form of workplace
communication. It has been found that on an average, employees spend
20% of their time writing memos, letters or reports. Superiors and
supervisors not only spend their time writing, but they also spend
additional time reviewing and revising the writing composed by their
subordinates and students. A clear, concise and well-written report saves
a lot of time for the users, be it researchers, students, teachers, managers
or the clients. In other words, the value of accuracy and precision is not
only important for researchers in scientific education and research but
also for professionals in all sorts of work situations.
