Defining Technical Information
Technical Literature – Part I
LA 100 – SOS Version LEC-03 Althoff
Technical Info can be….• Data: numbers, graphic representation of numbers,
images (of cells, tissues, organs, individuals, habitat, landscapes, etc.)
• Models: how something “works”, how we perceive a process, impact, renovation
• Equipment: new designs, options, and/orapplications of the equipment
• Techniques/Methods: approaches and protocols to conducting field or lab activities…or data analysis
• Chronology of Events: what happened when• Etc.

Typical Components in WRITTEN Scientific Technical Communications
• Title• Authors (and
affiliation)• Date• Abstract (if “long”)• Key Words• Introduction
(and/orBackground Info)
• Study Area (if not a lab)
• Methods & Materials• Results• Discussion• Conclusions
(and/or managementimplications)
• Acknowledgements• Literature Cited• Appendix

Examination of the Sample Technical Papera peer-reviewed publication
• Title –what does it tell us?• Authors (and affiliation) – how many?• Abstract—present? • Key Words—present?• Introduction
a) why study grassland birds? b) why study habitat requirements? c) what was study objective?

Examination of the Sample Technical Paper…con’t
• Discussion –which had nests further from bare ground patches?
• Discussion –what direction did nest openings face?
• Discussion –how can wildlife managers manage for “microhabitat” characteristics for improving nesting habitat for these species?

In summary…• Technical literature has a specific
format…but the format varies from journal-to –journal
• You should be able to read these sections… and understand the main focus and findings of the paper: Introduction Discussion
• Data comes in many forms. It is usually summarized in Tables and Figures
