What Academic Writing Skills? by eduprojectsng: 11:21am On Jan 11, 2022
Writers who must write in an academic style require a unique set of talents in order to be considered experts in their field. These abilities include the ones listed below. Some of these abilities are acquired over time by the writer. Other abilities are natural, although they may be learned.

A strong writing ability is a must-have for the writer. You are not required to produce casual descriptive paragraphs; nonetheless, you must be able to write accurately and within the word count restriction.
Before beginning to hire a writer, the writer would first ponder, outline, and arrange. Solid planning is essential for producing a well-written academic work. As a result, for this type of writing, planning is essential. You can't just start writing about something you like.
It is necessary to have excellent grammar.

The writer must be well-versed in all aspects of grammar. Punctuation and proofreading would go a long way toward improving the quality of the finished product.
Academic writing styles
There are four distinct forms of writing, which are as follows:
Descriptive
Analytical
Persuasive
Critical

Academic writing that is descriptive
This is the most basic type of academic writing. This sort of writing conveys information and facts. Descriptive writing might include a synopsis of an article or the findings of an experiment. A writer of a descriptive essay would be expected to identify, record, report, summarize, and characterize objects.

Because descriptive writing does not require the author to evaluate something, it is easy in structure. The writer should have in order to describe the thoughts that are already present. Writing a detailed text requires good grammar and vocabulary.

Academic writing that is analytical

This sort of writing has all of the features of descriptive writing, but the facts and information are reorganized into categories, groups, and pieces. Analytical writing requires the ability to compare, contrast, relate, and examine.
To examine the outcomes, ideas, people, circumstances, or phenomena, the writer now need another talent. The author should be able to analyze without adding any bias to the process. The author should also be familiar with the many analytical tools available. One must write analytically as well as descriptively in research writing, such as research papers, theses, and dissertations.

Academic writing that persuades
The persuasive writing style is a step up from the analytical style. Persuasive writing involves the writer's perspective in addition to facts and information for the readers. Persuasive writing includes things like Sociology research topics and essays. Argument, assess, discuss, and take a stance are all instructions for producing this style of essay.

Academic writing that is critical
This entails mixing all three forms of writing and going beyond persuasion. The writer in this form of writing not only presents his or her own point of view, but also considers different viewpoints. Critical academic writing might take the form of a journal article criticism or a literature review that discusses the strengths and shortcomings of a certain theory. In their work, this sort of writer would be required to criticize, discuss, dispute, and assess.
