Research paper writing is a challenging task. You have to deal with criticism as sportingly as you accept compliments. Writing a research paper is not like bulk content writing or general promotional or blog writing.
The meaning of ‘academic writing’ is simple; writing of academic assignments and projects like reports, essays, journal papers, theses and dissertations. Outsourcing academic projects is a worldwide industry today.
Plagiarism may seem to be a little word but it has brought down many famed people with its might like Victor Ponta (ex-PM of Romania) and the ex-President of Hungary Pal Schmitt.
Most writers, when they join us, have little or no formal experience in academic writing. Some are even new to the concept of freelance academic writing, but they all have one thing in common- a flair for writing.
Critical writing, in technical terms, means “not necessarily writing about the topic in a negative way; it is simply making sure that you have considered all sides of the argument” (University of Cumbria, UK).
When your supervisor devotes his/her precious time in reading your thesis, such grammatical errors can be a put-off. After over 15 years of formal education, the least a PhD scholar can do is exhibit the very foundation of the English language in a correct manner.

You must be aware that universities around the world are becoming stricter by the day about the quality of student assignments and dissertations/ theses. Consequently the rules of academic writing are changing too.
It is commonly misconceived that academic writing is simply about presenting the topic-related data. It is important to understand that academic writing is different from non academic or commercial writing and has its own set of rules.
