Overcoming Information Barriers during Technical Communication

  • Published:
Scientific and Technical Information Processing Aims and scope

Abstract

Technical writing allows reduction of the negative impacts of technical communication barriers by unification and standardization of documents, collection of user product requirements, and study of the user experience to develop scenarios for improving the user-friendliness of a product (usability and human factors), instruction design, and increasing the readability of technical documents through the use of simplified technical language, information style, and information design.

Notes

  1. Decision making situations can be associated with high risks of possible consequences in various domains. J. Hanham, C.B. Lee, and J. Leppink attributed to such high-stakes domains any situations in which individual or team decisions can lead to severe effects on the human safety, as well as to more abstract social, political, ethical, economic and environmental consequences [31, p.1].
