Abstract:
Attempting to persuade contractors to take the time to write articles for publication in professional/technical/scientific periodicals can be difficult. In most cases, contractors are extremely busy individuals and may lack the training and experience in writing. A possible solution is to pair graduate (or even undergraduate) students with interested contractors; this contact could lead to a joint writing effort on the part of the student and the contractor. Future job opportunities are also possible under such a program.
