Academic Text

The academic text simply means writing that is completed in the academic world. These texts could be specific in that it would be written for a project, a compilation of research material, student essays, essays written for journals, blog entries, conference papers, and many more.

Each of these has an individual structure, depending on the rules of the particular institution for which it is written. This refers to the style of the citations within the text as well as the reference page at the end of the paper. However, in this context, there are general rules to abide by.

What this means is that the paper, article, or essay has to have a general structure. In some instances, an abstract, or an executive summary is required. In most cases, it is acceptable to start with an introduction. Even though the essay or article requires an abstract, or an executive summary, the general rule is that there is still the need for an introduction. The introduction would give background information as well as motivation, or reason for the paper. Thus, the introduction usually ends with an aim, an objective, or a purpose statement.

Three or more paragraphs follow the introduction in a simple essay, which ends with a concluding paragraph. Research documents, or theses, are complex essays, and its breakdown could result in several chapters. Shorter versions will be divided into several headings.

The purpose of breaking down academic essays is to set out a train of thought for other academics to follow with ease. Simply put, it assists with setting out an academic argument, or discussion that could be of value to those who read it. It also serves as logical information for other researches.

Writing as a Habit

Writers and authors are dependent on big breaks to make some form of income, as well as to sustain a living. However, in the in-between times, a number of “gigs” are available to fill the daily pot of expenditure, especially if one is waiting for that big break. This depends on what you, as a writer, can contribute. A number of places are available to write for, but these places are a slog and you need to really work hard to earn a small amount. There are those who do offer higher salaries, though. One such place, where you are able to earn a reasonable amount, is Writerbay. This is where you can apply your own academic expertise, and become more proficient in your own writing as well.

Each writer should have one or more specialization subjects or courses. This makes it easy to write even though you need to use the prescribed books. As the assignments are academic, the writers are also given a salary on a sliding scale. This means that the salary depends on your own qualification level. The assignments are assigned to the writer once they have made an application, indicating that they would like to work on a specific paper. Depending on the settings of the writer, the work would be assigned within the writer’s expertise. The writers are able to set their own working hours, such as being available 24/7 or lesser hours.

Most of these sites offer services to students to have their essays written for them. These students come from non-English backgrounds, and are, therefore, not fluent in English. What this means, too, is that the student might be able to speak the language, but cannot necessarily think or analyze at a deeper level in English. The writer at Writerbay would assist them with their essays for exam purposes. Some people do question the ethics of this methodology, but it is the only way that students from foreign language backgrounds can obtain a degree at a Western university. As mentioned already, the student has to study and understand the written essay in order for them to complete the exam paper.   

Once the writer is given access to the “Available Orders” list, the writer can choose the assignment, and start writing. However, it still depends on the administrators whether they would assign the order to the writer in question. The writer is given specific time periods in which to complete the assignment. The longest time-period is eleven days. The shortest periods can always be negotiated to a longer period, if the time allows. The shorter periods can be from as little as thirty minutes.

The most important aspect of Writerbay is that the work has to be academic. This group allows you to write as much as you can, and allows you to choose what you would like to write about. Even though your expertise does not lie within the requirement for a particular order, you could still apply and write from general knowledge, but with the seriousness of academic writing and the right sources. That means that the language is formal, and all various paper formats, and referencing styles apply. However, they have recently opened up an opportunity for blogging. Hence, should you do have your own blog, you would be able to write blogs for them too, and make some money there too. Any person who enjoys writing will find ways and means to write and keep busy at writing. Writing for groups are an important aspect, as it teaches you to write for various types of people, as well as various modes of writing.

The main focus is on writing. It teaches you to sit down and complete pieces of work within a particular period. It will finally train you for when you want to do you own writing. It teaches you the discipline to sit, write, and complete tasks. When you finally write for yourself, you are able to set your own timelines and goals. Most writer groups have their own rules, and you will have to pop in at this group (Writerbay), ask the right questions, and see what they have to offer. Visit the website, as they are an online group.
