Academic writing is different from everyday writing. However, there is a correlation between academic and everyday writing. The latter involves a systematic process. This short article is aimed at simplifying academic writing by answering the following questions: What is research? What is research scope? What is the academic writing process? Why do we research? Can anyone conduct research? (Can academic writing be for everyone?) Where, how, and when can research writing start? What are the characteristics of a researcher? What are the common challenges in starting to write research? These seven questions beg for answers from upcoming and established academic researchers.
The complexities and diversities of human nature and challenges necessitated the need to discover and identify ways to solving and meeting human and academic problem needs. The existence of problems gave rise to the the need for research. The book takes researchers and students through the latest and best research practice through the adoption of simple, adoptable and practicable research models for academic and contemporary research writing.

A GUIDE TO RESEARCH WRITING2019 •
Very often, little attention is paid to how students have to prepare and understand the processes of conducting research and mostly young scholars struggle in the early stages in the university career about what is required of them and how to present their proposal to their supervisors. Keeping this in mind, the purpose of this guidebook is to offer a critical and practical mind map introduction to research writing to assist researchers in creating an appropriate design for their research studies and to offer the simplest guide of creating a logical orientated research. The book is made using simple graphs to explain what is expected of researchers at each stage of their research writing to enable them to understand if any a missing link when conducting their research. The book is mostly content mind-map and figures to make it easier for the researcher to understand what is expected of them from the stages of their research to completion. It presents the basic tenets of methodological steps so that the researcher can become familiar with how to conduct research and what techniques to use in their choice for research writing.

This short paper brings observations for researchers-in-the-making and supervisors regarding two key moments: the definition of the research problem and the academic writing itself. First we see how to prepare the research problem considering the following steps: (1) What the research problem is, (2) why it is important, (3) what is known about the problem, and (4) what the research will contribute to knowledge about the problem. Second, we discuss how to write a scientific paper (articles, theses, dissertations…) and clarify our approach to a research problem These observations have been developed along years of discussions with both experienced and young researchers.
This 7-minute mini-lecture describes the basic elements of quantitative research and qualitative research. This provides a foundation for understanding educational research.
This textbook is designed to help graduate students with their academic writing. It is designed for nonnative speakers of English. It has evolved out of both research and teaching experience. The general approach is rhetorical; that is, it focuses on making a good impression with academic writing. The book is as much concerned with developing academic writers as it is with improving academic texts. The tasks, activities, and discussions are richly varied, ranging from small-scale language points to studying the discourse of a chosen discipline. The book is fast paced, opening with a basic orientation and closing with writing an article for publication. With the help of the accompanying commentary, students and scholars should be able to use this volume profitably on their own.

Fundamentals of Academic Writing: A Literature ReviewIn order to write for academic purposes, all novice ESL and EFL writers must be well-informed about the fundamentals of academic writing (AW) in English. Developing academic writing skills for all students is crucial because they must produce good writing skills to meet the standards of college and university course writing assignments. The typical college and university writing assignments include descriptive writing, analytical writing, persuasive writing, critical writing, and inquiry writing. In the meantime, it is also crucial for them to understand that writing is a recursive process involving various stages, such as generating ideas, outlining, planning, drafting, revising, editing, and sharing. During the writing process, the writers should not only consider the elements of AW, comprising content, organization, purpose and audience, critical thinking, word choice, grammar, and mechanics, but also its basic conventions, including objectivity, formality or style, citation styl...

Qualities and Characteristics of a Good Scientific Research Writing; Step-by-Step ApproachesMany young researchers find it difficult to write a good and quality research thesis/article because they are not prone to article writing ethics and training. Yet, a thesis/publication is often vital and paramount for career advancement, grants, academic qualifications and others. This research work described the basics and systematic steps to follow in writing a good scientific thesis/article. This research also outlined the main sections that an average thesis/article should contain, the elements that should appear in each section, the systematic approaches in writing research, the characteristics of a good thesis/article, the attributes of a good research thesis/article, qualities of a good researcher and finally the ethics guiding research.
Academe: First Forays into Academic Writing
Reflections on academic writing as an early career researcher2020 •
In this short paper, I reflect on my own writing experiences as an early career researcher and describe three main points that I have learned along the way, that may be of some use to those wanting to improve their own academic writing. In other words, I discuss the ideas and strategies that I wish I had of known when I began academic writing. The first point that I cover is the importance of reading. In particular, reading the literature in your field and finding suitable models for your own writing. The second point that I discuss is the usefulness of sharing your work with others. This helps writers 'get into the mind of their reader', which is essential for explaining complex concepts or ideas. Further, sharing your work may help those who are struggling with motivation, as having another person looking at your work may make you more accountable. The last point that I focus on is using technology to assist with your writing and help with particular 'moves' in the academic genre. Specifically, I discuss the use of an online tool (AWSuM) for second language English writers. While I have taught writing to undergraduates, postgraduates and professors in Japan, this paper is aimed toward those who are struggling with particular academic writing strategies. As such, I offer some insights into my own strategies for writing in no particular order of importance.
