"Technical Writing for Social Sciences" emphasizes the thought of writing in a professional capacity, It finds its thrust areas in organization of the writing content, simple formatting of writing, and reporting a content contextually suited for best use in a purposeful environment.
This book strives to give its readers reading easiness and brings to them the joy of writing research reports for technical output in Social Science subjects. Analogous to that, the issues that need illumination are the use English grammar, syntax semantics, writing style (rhetoric), format: linguistic apprehension and their judicious use with proper logic and obedience.
The elongation of the knowledge domains of Social Sciencee, way scholars is concemed with all such matters.

It gives me much pleasure to write the foreword of the book Technical Writing for Social Sciences by Dr. Pubalika Bhattacharya Maltra, Assistant Professor, Department of Library & Information Science, University of Calcutta.
Reading this book, students will find it hard to defend the view that good teachers are born, not made. It can best be described as concise yet detalled. There is a plethora of useful information packed into its 15 chapters that include History of Technical Writing Communication Dynamics, Readability, Reader's Reviews, Functional English, Technical Writing with Aberrations, Sentences and Numeric, Use of Proper Punctuation Marks, Technical Pinpoints of Official Writing Author-Editor-Reader Relations, The Editor. Research Report Writing and Technical Issues, Article Writing, etc. As I reviewed the manuscript prior to writing this Foreword, I was impressed by many unique features.
In spite of the existence of a number of books of good quality on writing in general and also on technical writing in the market, the ones that are suitable for the requirements of our students are not many in number. These are meant for students who belong to different cultural backgrounds or have either a heavy bias towards the theoretical aspects or the practical aspects.
This book provides a valuable window on technical writing and covers the necessary components from history of technical writing to article writing. There is hardly any area on the topic in question that has not been covered. It is evident that for Dr. Bhattacharya Maltra, writing this book was a labour of love.
