Although there are many forms of academic writing, what makes good scholarly writing includes the same basic features. Also known as scientific writing or academic writing, scholarly writing is a requirement for many disciplines. This type of writing presents in a properly defined structure that is recognizable and includes a tone that is formal rather than with slangs or colloquialisms. Scholarly writing must be clear and focused on the problem studied, with the aim of answering a research question(s). There should be little ambiguity and words must be exact to convey a single meaning. The approach to scholarly writing is analytical, derived from deductive reasoning, is logical, with a consequential flow of arguments. Learning scholarly writing is like learning a new language within the English language (for English language users). This is the type of language used by scholars when conveying information to a body of knowledge about a particular phenomenon. Many new academic writers (dissertation students) try to persuade scholars by using impressive words and technical terms to sound scholarly. Intellectuals are never impressed and often see though this façade, which often confuses the disseminating knowledge and creates more questions than supply answers. Good scholarly writing must be clear, which requires planning on what to say. Students must remember that acceptance of academic writing even among scholars is an iterative process, therefore drafts and assessments need course corrections before acceptance. When a competently written thesis or dissertation is presented, students underestimate the amount of work the paper went through. When student researchers understand and accept this process, writing becomes emotionally easier and less stressful while on their academic journey. As such, dissertation students must understand that academic writing is a craft, which requires patience, practice, and dedication to learning this new language.
