Abstract

CHAPTER 5 5.1 A COMMON PRACTICE Learning to write in writing teams is important for many careers, and requires skills beyond those of single-authored documents. Analytical writing is often the effort of several writers that form a writing team, and examples of analytical writing produced by several authors are more common that are single-authored articles. In fact, most scientific journal articles have several authors, with some articles having long lists of authors. Environmental consultants, engineers, investment managers, and many others in both the private and public sectors often produce reports by writing in teams. Rarely, if ever, does analytical writing emerge from one person writing as an island, alone, and without the involvement of others. For example, even when a single writer creates analytical writing, the author must build on the writing and ideas of others who receive citation or attribution. Admitting the role of others does not take away from recognition that comes from writing. On the contrary, authors who relate their writing to ideas of others will usually increase the interest level from readers, and expand the number of readers.
