Getting Started
Professional, industry, or trade journals and magazines are more
specialized than popular journals but are not intended to be
scholarly. These types of publications are aimed at experts in the
field and/or keen amateurs and the content focuses on news,
trends in the field, promotional material etc. Research findings are
not typically disseminated here – though they may report that a
scholarly publication is forthcoming. These types of publications
typically will contain more advertising than a scholarly journal´hough it is usually targeted to the field in some way.
Examples: Publishers Weekly; Variety; Education
Digest. (Evaluating Information Sources, n.d., What is a Trade

For this assignment, you will write for a specialized publication
specific to an industry of your selection, one that will support your
research and writing for the ADP. You will expand on the

Write punchy lead paragraphs that will òab2eaders and
pull them into the article.
Avoid long introductions. Get right to the point. Tell the

Avoid jargon and acronyms. Readers don like to go back
and check their meaning.
Don pad your manuscript. It will be obvious to the editor
and to the readerf the editor lets the material stand.
Avoid long, complex sentences. Break a complex thought
into two or more sentences.
Don assume that the reader knows as much as you do.
Carefully explain or define a term that isn commonly used
or was coined at your company.
Use the active voice, not passive. Instead of writing t was

days.—rite a conclusion that sums up your major points and
makes a statement on why the article is important to the
reader. (SF Editorial Guidelines and Submissions, n.d., Tips
