ABSTRACT
We report preliminary results from an ongoing study investigating the feasibility of creating a disciplinary repository for scholars working in technical and professional communication (TPC). More specifically, we investigated the kinds of empirical research scholars working in TPC conduct, whether they would contribute to and potentially use de-identified data in a repository designed specifically for scholars in the field, and their views on the pros and cons of establishing such a resource.
