Abstract:
More than 1,600 serials from across the disciplines were identified as
sources for technical communication scholars. The 99 most frequently cited
serials are described. This citation analysis is distinguished from others
by the size of the database (25,000+ citations), the 10-year review of
articles published in five technical communication journals between 1988 and
1997, the number of serials cited and reviewed, and the focus on technical
communication as a discipline. The analysis yielded two observations. First,
five technical communication journals have grown in strength as forums for
discussions of technical communication. Second, the serials cited illustrate
the diversity of resources referred to from business, education, psychology,
science, and technology-related sources. As a discipline, technical
communication has developed depth and rigor through building the base of its
research and theory while integrating the research and theory gathered from
a number of disciplines.
