Topic 1.) Technique-3) Writing a Document with a Relevant Expert: Co‑Author, Editor, and/or Reviewer ||| Technique-3 is useful if, you want to write a book or article for publication, but you lack the formal credentials that relate to the topic you want to write about. For an example, let us assume you wanted to write a book on chemical reactions for publication, but you do not have a college-level degree in chemistry. This might be a problem, because readers and publishers are likely to assess the validity of a nonfiction book, or article, in terms of the formal qualifications of the writer. Technique-3 can be used to solve problems of this nature, if you have adequate knowledge and skills to write about the topic in question. This is explained in detail in the following paragraphs.
Subtopic, The Details and Procedures Associated with Technique-3 ||| This technique involves writing an article, or book for publication, with the assistance of one or more individuals that have appropriate formal qualifications for your writing project. For example, if you want to write a book about physics, you would need an individual who had a PhD in physics, or a physics instructor with a master’s degree. With technique-3, one a more individuals with the appropriate credentials, functions as a co‑author, editor, or a reviewer. With this technique, the individual(s) with the credentials would also check your writing to be certain that your descriptions are adequate, and your statements are correct. The name of the co‑author, editor, and/or reviewer, must appear on the article or book you are writing, to assure the readers and publisher of the validity of the work. This would include a description of the credentials and experience of the individual or people that assisted you with your writing project, and the job they carried out, such as co-author, editor, or reviewer. For a book, ideally, the description should be one or more pages, plus a one-line statement on the cover of the manuscript. However, just a one or two line statement would probably be adequate, especially if you were writing an article.
Subtopic, The Role of the Co-Author, Editor, And Reviewer, Based on Technique-3 ||| The co-author writes the article with you. The role of the editor is to examine your work, and make any needed corrections. Alternatively, the editor might underline inadequacies in the manuscript, and return the work to you to make the corrections and improvements. The role of a reviewer, based on technique-3, is to examine your work to be certain that it is valid. This would include returning the work to you to make corrections or improvements, if necessary. After your work is completed, the reviewer writes one or more pages at the beginning of the book, essentially to convince the readers, and publisher that it is valid. If you wrote an article, a reviewer might not be practical, because the review may be too long for an article. However, it might be feasible in some cases for a reviewer to write a single paragraph that directly or indirectly confirms the validity of the article.

Topic 2.) Potential Difficulties with Technique-3, and Obtaining the Assistance of Qualified Individuals, to Work with You on Your Writing Project ||| It might be difficult or unfeasible to find individuals with appropriate credentials that want to serve as coauthors, editors, or reviewers. This is especially the case if you are not already a well-published author. However, an individual you know, or worked with you previously, might be interested in working with you on your writing project. This can involve a professor or instructor who has appropriate formal credentials, for your writing project. You might have to pay for the assistance, especially if you are writing a book. However, if you are writing a brief article, you might be able to obtain assistance without charge.
Subtopic, Using the Web to a Find Co‑Author, Editor, and/or Reviewer ||| You might be able to find a co-author, editor, or reviewer with the right credentials by using Google Scholar www.scholar.google.com .To do this, carry out a search with Google Scholar, using the topic or subject you plan to write about, as a search phrase. For example, if you are planning to write about nuclear physics, enter “nuclear physics” with quotation marks, in the search box. Another alternative is to search for colleges or universities, and see if you can find a professor or instructor that is appropriate for your writing project.
