Peer reviewedDuffy, Thomas M. – Technical Communication: Journal of the Society for Technical Communication, 1995
Surveys 28 expert technical editors regarding their views on editing and how computer-based tools could aid their work. Finds that the editing environment, the process of editing, the skills involved, and the errors found all influenced the types of tools need. Names tools the editors used and suggests others that should be developed. (SR)
