Academic Writing

Ms. Maheen Pracha conducted a session on how to improve academic writing on Friday, 20th of October, 2017. This workshop was conducted in the Economics Faculty Development Workshop, Winter Term 2017.

Academic writing refers to a style of expression that researchers use to define the intellectual boundaries of their disciplines and their specific areas of expertise. Characteristics of academic writing include a formal tone, use of the third-person rather than first-person perspective (usually), a clear focus on the research problem under investigation, and precise word choice. Like specialist languages adopted in other professions, such as, economics or medicine, academic writing is designed to convey agreed meaning about complex ideas or concepts for a group of scholarly experts.
