Technical Writing for Teams: The STREAM Tools Handbook

Alexander Mamishev,Sean Williams

This book is designed to help authors of technical documents overcome the following common problems: Inconsistent formatting. Inconsistent formatting arises as individual team members incorporate their own material into the emerging document. One especially difficult problem is the numbering of headings, figures, equations, and in-text literature citations and reference lists. Need to follow house style. Many documents need to follow the requirements of a particular journal, funding organization, etc. Incorrect grammar, punctuation, and mechanics and poor writing. Disunity. Document disunity refers to all the problems that arise when multiple people work on a single document. Poorly managed literature citations. The industry-academic tool split. Academic research groups very often work in LaTeX. Industry groups rarely do. Moving content between MS Word and LaTeX is difficult. This difference in tool use has complicated industry-academic collaboration for a long time.
