Document Design Center, American Institutes for Research This article surveys some recent trends in the area of clear writing and highlights some of the issues that face professional writers, people in business and other fields who write as part of their day-to-day work, and those who teach writing. Researchers are beginning to create empirically validated guidelines for writing clear and comprehensible prose and to develop useful theories about clear writing. Writers and editors can use research findings in practical settings.
