Journal Logo

Our journal is shared by our community, and acts as a forum for the exchange of ideas and scholarship about technical communication and related pedagogy. We think of it as a living classroom for teaching the scholastic, writing, and editorial practices that the technical communication community recognizes, accepts, and applies to scholarship.
