This paper compares the role that commentary plays in JCD with its role, actual and proposed, in other professional journals, and contrasts that role with prepublication refereeing. JCD's preference for commentary that is rich in ostensive and comparative features is explained by their benefits for documentation practitioners, just as including literature-awareness commentaries offers practitioners a greater voice on journal pages. And JCD's annual reprint-commentary combinations provide unusual opportunities for continuing professional education.","PeriodicalId":255103,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IPCC 97.

Newspaper writers have traditionally used guiding questions (who, what, when and where) to formulate the summary leads that allow each reader to idiosyncratically navigate a nonlinear narrative path through a newspaper. Thus, user access to nonlinear information on the World Wide Web likewise improves with the inclusion of question-guided summary leads. To formulate those summary leads, a site designer should likewise use guiding questions, but the designer should be aware that not all information belongs to the genre of narrative. Leading summaries in each genre differ in terms of their guiding questions.","PeriodicalId":255103,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IPCC 97.

EPSS are computer-based systems that provide whatever resources are necessary to help a person complete a task quickly. Minimalist manuals are documents that are structured to allow users to explore a system on their own, after receiving some basic guidance. Designs driven by the application of EPSS and minimalist audience analyses may apply to the creation of interactive instructions-to empowering an audience to create their own learning. The paper represents an introductory investigation into the implications of audience analysis implicit in EPSS and minimal systems. A comparison of the audience driven design goals of these systems suggests three tools technical communicators can investigate to help audiences construct their own learning: hypertext, multiple information paths, and information layering.","PeriodicalId":255103,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IPCC 97.

The conclusion is that it is possible to achieve efficient handling of technical journal papers in electronic form throughout a cycle that encompasses peer-level review, author revision, editing, print production, but in most organizations this efficiency will require additional software, changes to hardware, and adaptation to new processes. The author presents the highlights of an experiment to investigate how a journal publication process could evolve to accommodate the new processes, methods, and capabilities of some selected software applications.
