Technical Writing

Writing reports is a fundamental part of the activity of any professional in technical and scientific areas, either an Engineer or a Researcher, and both during training and while practicing as a professional.

The “Guide to Report Writing” (or “Guia para a Redação de Relatórios”) provides some “cues” to help writing technical or scientific reports. The ideas and concepts suggested here are not directed at any particular situation. It is intended, above all, to present some of the most important issues concerning writing of technical-scientific reports and to give some guidelines about writing of scientific or technical text.

For those writing a report on a lab assignment or a project, I have prepared a checklist with a few things you should verify on your report before submitting: “Lista de pontos a verificar na elaboração de um relatório” (in Portuguese).

A Report Template (in odt and pdf format) is published, organized according to the proposed structure.

In a more extensive approach, the IEEE Author Center that can be a valuable source on information for publishing scientific articles at any level.
