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—though 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 Publication? section)
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 previously submitted Industry blog to develop a ‘publishable’ industry journal article.

Upon successful completion of this assignment, you will be able to:
- Demonstrate the ability to write for industry and practitioner journals and websites.
Background Information
Are you looking for some great resources to aid your writing efforts? If so, you might check out professional, industry, and trade journals and magazines specific to the industry selected for your applied doctoral project. Most of the publications should have the editorial guidelines and submissions requirements readily accessible on their website to support authors desiring to submit an article or other form of writing for publication. On the same accessible webpage, there may also be tips and resources for helping you write more effectively. See the example tips for effective writing obtained from the Institute of Management Accountants, publishers of the Strategic Finance management accountant journal.
TIPS FOR [INDUSTRY JOURNAL ARTICLES] EFFECTIVE WRITING
Staff editors carefully edit every manuscript scheduled for publication. They follow a number of general principles in the editing process. Here are some suggestions for effective writing:
- Write punchy lead paragraphs that will “grab” readers and pull them into the article.
- Avoid long introductions. Get right to the point. Tell the reader exactly what you plan to do.
- Avoid jargon and acronyms. Readers don’t like to go back and check their meaning.
- Don’t pad your manuscript. It will be obvious to the editor and to the reader—if the editor lets the material stand.
- Avoid long, complex sentences. Break a complex thought into two or more sentences.
- Don’t assume that the reader knows as much as you do. Carefully explain or define a term that isn’t commonly used or was coined at your company.
- Use the active voice, not passive. Instead of writing “It was accomplished in 10 days,” say “We finished the project in 10 days.”
- Write 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 for Effective Writing section)
