What is an Academic text?
Academic text is defined as critical, objective,
specialized texts written by experts or professionals
in a given field using formal language.
This means that academic texts are based on facts
with solid basis.
Academic writing, therefore, is generally quite formal,
objective (impersonal) and technical.
It is formal by avoiding casual or conversational
language, such as contractions or informal vocabulary.
