Data Sustainability

This committee seeks to learn about the practices of conducting empirical research that scholars in technical and professional communication (TPC) engage in, the extent to which they may have used and contributed their empirical research to databanks or repositories, and their level of interest in using and contributing to a databank/repository developed for scholars and students working in TPC in the future.

Other Committee Goals

• Create and house an open data repository for technical communication research using MySQL within the SIGDOC site
