7 sources for research topic

 My research topic is how biases affect technical communication. I will probably narrow it down to something more specific, like gender bias. Examples of this would be using gendered language that assumes the reader is male and alienating the rest of the audience, or by depicting one gender in a harmful and offensive way. 

 The seven possible sources I have found are the following: 

 Shenk, Robert. “Gender Bias in Naval Fitness Reports? A Case Study on Gender and
          Rhetorical Credibility.” 

 Sánchez, Fernando. “Trans Students’ Right to Their Own Gender in Professional
          Communication Courses: A Textbook Analysis of Attire and Voice Standards in Oral Presentations.”

 Gurak, Laura J., and Nancy L. Bayer. “Making Gender Visible: Extending Feminist
          Critiques of Technology to Technical Communication.” 

 Lay, Mary M. “The Value of Gender Studies to Professional Communication
          Research.”

Pomerenke, Paula, Varner, Iris I., and Mallar, Suzanne. "The Depiction of Female and Male Professionals           in Business Communication Textbooks."

Stitt, Wanda L. "Dealing with Bias in Business Communication."

Durack, Katherine T. “Gender, Technology, and the History of Technical
          Communication."

It's also important to consider any information you might choose to include or omit entirely, as well as the way you present the information. Inherent biases are very likely to affect how someone presents information or the way that they react to new information. Much of professional and technical communication carries a lot of weight, like legal documents, so presenting the information accurately and plainly is crucial.      TOPIC GOAL QUESTIONS TYPE METHODS Biases in technical communication Explore ethical responsibilities of technical writers 1.      How has...
