-It avoids such personal constructions/pronouns such as I, you, he, me, she, and him.
-It relies more on the use of the passive voice as opposed to the active one e.g. it would prefer: 'The frog was dissected and it was found out that instead of I dissected the frog…'or 'The results are astounding.. instead of 'l am astounded by the results.
- It avoids contractions such as can’t, don’t, won’t, shouldn’t, etc.
- It avoids clichés, slang, colloquialism such expressions like, 'The poor folks' 'the kids', 'kudos to our dear country,'too many idlers' .
- It uses a special jargon or vocabulary instead of a general vocabulary.
- It acknowledges the ideas of others/citation is a must
- The main purpose of academic writing is to argue (argumentation) and to explain (exposition).
- It is aimed basically at other academics i.e. university lecturer and students
- It is a lengthy as well as creative process involving various stages such as focusing a topic, gathering ideas, determining a structure, drawing a outlines, drafting, revising, editing and proof-reading.
The writing process can be described as a process of discovering ideas, developing and organizing them. The process is not simple, and neither does it take place in a linear manner. Good writing takes a lot of time and practice
