Academic Writing

This is the reference manual you want open when writing papers or grants. It walks through research question development using FINER criteria, systematic literature searches with concrete Boolean operators, and the full IMRaD structure with word counts and organization patterns. The citation management section covers BibTeX templates and context-specific citation patterns. What makes it genuinely useful is the specificity: it includes hedging language examples, tense usage by section, and before/after fixes for common writing problems. It also covers newer scholarly infrastructure like CRediT roles, ORCID integration, and Plan S compliance for open access publishing. More workshop handout than theory, which is exactly what you need when you're actually writing.
