Step 1

Academic Writing can be defined as when the individual write about the particular topic in a formal manner, throw a light on certain ideas, concepts, theories along with giving some kind of evidence or example that prove those theories or ideas to be correct, and these writing can be used or published in journals or books. These are some kind of research papers that can be further used for research and to educate students in universities so that they can also used those writing so as to research further.

This is something that is documented in an official or formal manner, informal languages cannot be used in such writings. But the authors needs to explain the concepts in an appropriate language so that it can be understood by the other individuals.
