Journals and Scientific Documents

 1. The purpose of journals and professional papers.

            To hone the writer’s research skills while providing information to a general or specific audience, this can be an academic and or professional.  The technical writer writing a professional paper would explain product information, explaining the steps and results of product. A journal would contain a scientific or science writing and can be written for a specific field such as the medical field, we see many medical journals in doctors’ offices; these are written with the patient in mind. Journals can also be written by doctors for doctors. Such is the case with all professional fields.

           

2.  The organization of a technical scientific paper.

            Organizing a technical scientific paper begins with considering the four elements, which are design, research and completion of paper that includes selecting a journal to publish article, a rough draft, writing of the paper and finally submitting the paper for publication.

            Preparing an outline,  defining, limiting and focusing on the subject, (if subject is entirely the writers) the paper should explain in detail the problem by researching existing literature, discussing and drawing conclusions by exploring methods that could alleviate the problem.

Assessing leader behaviors in project managers:

            Being a Project manager, one must incorporate multiple skills which would not limit the duties of a project manager. The project manager must be able to bring out desired results from team members. Leadership style of the manager determines whether the manager is successful within the organization and can be the success of the organization.

            To be a good project manager one must be a good project leader. The article states, "Project leadership is the ability to get things done well through others".  The ability of a project manager to motivate and delegate to subordinates; having a concern for tasks and a concern for people. 

            The correct balance of leadership and managerial skills and being able to recognize the challenges along the project life cycle, responding to subordinates with the appropriate leadership behaviors; these skills will optimize the success of project.

            The article serves to state the case that good leadership skills can be found in effective project managers and this will always lead to project success. The article also states that leadership skills that are present in good managers are not always found in other areas of leadership, of course it states that more research is needed to prove this argument.
