Collaborative Writing ― An Annotated Bibliography

In compiling this bibliography, the editors addressed the question of the nature of collaborative writing. In selecting the entries, they made decisions guided by database searches, by the inter-textual sources authors cited, and by the moments when a source next to another source that they were seeking in the library caught their attention. They include Online Computer Library Center numbers after bibliographic entries and divide the information into sections that discuss settings that are academic (theoretical/research perspectives, classroom issues and examples, computers/technology, cross- disciplinary collaboration, ethical and gender issues, general guidelines, genres, and academics and scientists as collaborative writers) as well as non-academic (research, general and specific issues, genres, and literary collaboration).
