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.
Often, the outcome of one scientific study or experiment is based the work
of many other scientists' studies and experiments. This leads to another
reason some scientists prefer the impersonal writing style -- it does not
imply that a particular group of scientists is wholly responsible for a
breakthrough or discovery. As stated by others, the result is the
important aspect.
