Academic writing

Academic writing differs from many other types of texts that you write. An academic text is held up to a different standard when it comes to readability and clarity. Here you can read more about, why, what and how you write academically.

Writing academically

Academic writing, no matter which field, aims at communicating correct and factual information to the reader.

The writing process

It can be helpful to divide the writing in different phases. It is a good idea to make the prewriting phase a priority. This facilitates the rest of the writing process. You can work with feedback together with your peers.
