What is Difference between technical writing and academic writing?
Subject: Academic vs. technical writingFrom: Chaim Chatan Date: Fri, 27 Mar 1998 16:29:29 +0200Since there is a discussion of the differences between academic writing andtechnical writing, let me give you the perspective of someone who has doneboth. There are very important differences between academic and technicalwriting. One must also realize that there are also different types ofacademic writing and different types of technical writing.First of all, the purposes and audiences are different between academic andtechnical writing. The purposes of academic writing can be: 1) to presentthe results of one's knowledge, 2) to present the results gained from one'spersonal research, and 3) to present one's point of view. Of course, bothtechnical and academic writing is laden with jargon, but the jargon is usedfor different purposes. As far as technical writing is concerned, thepurposes of technical writing can be: 1) to teach someone how to use aspecific product or service; and 2) to describe the procedures that areemployed by companies for carrying out various tasks.The audiences are completely different. The academic is writing to fellowscholars, and often, depending on the journal or publication, to thegeneral public. The technical writer is writing to the user of the productor the service, or to government inspectors who need to see how the companycarries out certain tasks. Users, of course, differ from product toproduct. In addition, technical writing differs from area to area. Forexample, writing documentation for software is different from writingdocumentation for hardware.When I took a technical writing course as part of my professionalretraining, I had to unlearn a lot of what I had been doing as an academicwriter. We are dealing with different styles of writing altogether. Also,there is good and bad academic and technical writing, and a good academicwriter may not become a good technical writer and vice versa. I have seendownright awful academic writing, where the author wrote extremely unclearand obscure prose, and I have seen extremely garbled technical writing,where it was difficult to follow the instructions.The important variable here is teachability. If an academic writer whowants to become a technical writer is not teachable, especially coming fromthe academic and liberal arts world, he/she will not be a good technicalwriter. Good academic writing is not enough--teachability is the mostimportant factor. One of the most important tasks of interviewers ofcandidates for technical writing jobs, especially candidates who have nothad professional experience, is not just simply to look at the writingsamples of the candidates, but to assess how teachable they are. If thecandidate has both academic and technical writing samples, the interviewershould be able to assess whether the candidate has grasped the differencesbetween the two types of writing. This is one way to measure teachability.A bit of advice for academics who want to go into technical writing is toperuse all the various types of manuals and documentation written bytechnical writers to get a sense of what is involved in technical writing.
