Easy and Lazy Technical Writing: Solid logic to invoke an Aha-Experience
This talk presents an easy and lazy way for unexperienced authors to write a technical paper with a higher probability of acceptance. In technical writing, logic design before drafting is the key to the success. By analyzing the reviewers’ task, the value of the paper and the trick to achieve it are identified as the most important components of the logical structure in the paper. It is also reconfirmed by a diamond shape derived from the expectation-reality relationship. In order to overview the whole manuscript and refine the logical structure, slide preparation before drafting is useful. A three-point analysis before slide preparation identifies the value, the trick, and the problem all mentioned earlier. The three-point analysis is performed with the help of a three-point analysis sheet specially developed for this purpose. The designated font size is 36 point, which forces the author to refine the essence repeatedly to complete the analysis. Design of the paper title and the topic sentence is straightforward using the value and the trick identified by the three-point analysis. Examples help the authors understand how the three-point analysis is performed. In the drill session, the authors have a chance to perform the three-point analysis with their own paper.
