Technical Journal Editors and Writing Style.
Bostian, Lloyd; Hollander, Barbara
Journal of Technical Writing and Communication, v20 n2 p153-63 1990
Compares technical journal editing practices with journal style, examining variables that reflect active, verbal expression of ideas and parsimony and clarity of sentence construction. Finds that editors have little professional training in editing and style, little knowledge of style terms and differences, and spend little time editing, and only part of that in improving style.
