TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I read your initial post and have a question. What
kind of document are you reviewing? If the document is
explaining a standard (such as ISO), then the complete
standard (including an explanation - if one is
given)has to be written word-for-word. This would not
constitute plagiarism. I do not think that standards
fall in the IP category. In fact, if a standard (and
explanation) are incorrect, a legal battle could
result with the company that hired you on the losing
end.
HTH,
