"Persuasive briefs. Hundreds of pages detailing the laws and arguments of a case. Inspiring, right? Although briefs may not be the most entertaining form of writing, knowledge of the conventions and rhetorical moves throughout them will make writing a brief much less painful. Brief writing is extremely specific; it has a very specific purpose and a very specific audience, which dictates most of the rhetorical moves made throughout. In this guide you will find the most important qualities of a persuasive brief as well as some tips on how to include them in your own writing so that you can succeed in this genre."

"Case reports describe the management of either one to two patients and analyze the diagnosis of the patients. They are commonly used to teach medical students and are often physician-scientist’s introduction to scholarly writing. Because many of those writing case studies may not have a strong writing background, there has been an effort to standardize the format of a case study and the language used within the discourse community to make case studies understandable by a wider audience."

"How to Write Social Justice Research Like an Economist"
"How to Write Social Justice Research Like an Economist"
by Kaitlyn Taylor, WRI 210, Fall 2019
"Ultimately, I decided to write about social justice as an economist because it reflects such a complex mixture of interdisciplinary fields. It is a combination of economics and sociology and thus requires a specific tone and organization which reflects a number of different requirements and conventions which regulate its presentation. With these conventions in mind, I realized that the economics discourse community appreciates a mixture of both qualitative and quantitative explanations in their own work. I therefore realized that in creating my guide, it would be best to not only qualitatively explain my advice, but also make it something tangible they could visualize."

"Economics is one of the many discourse communities where research is far too complex for the common person to understand. Therefore, I made it my goal to find out how research is condensed into articles for the public. The information that I found in public articles about economics appear to be based on research but the sources are not explicitly cited. According to Dr. Otteson, my interviewee, many articles just use the information given by the candidates themselves. I assume that what the candidates state is based on research, so in theory using the information they give as the basis for public articles should be acceptable. However, each candidate is fighting to be elected so they avoid giving the negative sides of policies. Next year is another election year, so I decided that I wanted to learn how economic principles are boiled down to what the common person reads. To do this, I used information pertaining to the 2016 election of Trump versus Clinton. In order to accurately convey information, public articles need to be based off of research, not off of what is spoken by candidates trying to gain an electoral edge. However, converting economic research into something understandable by the public is no easy feat. Therefore, this guide exists to help writers produce public economic articles specifically relating to taxation."

"Mastering any form of writing across a variety of multimedia fields can prove to be very difficult. In this guide, I will seek to assist in providing clarity in regards to writing in the stylistic fashion of a sports columnist, journalist, or analyst, while employing a level of analysis that is rooted in economic theory/rhetoric and significance. As will be displayed in discussion of some of the primary resources utilized throughout my guide, there is a growing utilization of economic theory and analyzation in the sports world today, which provides reasoning for the relevance of this guide as a whole."
