While writing a technical paper or a technical brief, it is important to consider the guidelines mentioned by the journal to ensure that your paper is published without many hassles. A technical brief usually is the stepping stone towards the paper and it leads the reader towards the paper. You must mention the type of document, presentation date, reader profile, issues targeted in the paper, what the reader’s need to know about the topic, etc. You must also mention whether the document will be a paper, electronic or both. A good technical brief is like a trailer of a movie, it gives you the basic idea of what to expect, and at the same time, leaves you desiring for more.
