In the
first meeting in speaking for academic purposes we learned that academic
writing and literary works are two different things. We also identify the
differences between academic writing and literary works. there are some
differences we have found in first meeting, there are :
1. Research based
Academic writing always based on research. We can’t randomly write something in academic writing. It has to be and always based on research and not fiction. However academic writing is not a literary work so it is not based on writer imagination. It is not a narrative or description text. We have to put arguments and opinion then we completed it with data we have got from our research. Unlike Novel or short-story that just write what we had on imagination.

2. Systematic
Unlike literary works, academic writing should be systematic. Start with the opening to tell the material to reader, then we begin discuss the material, add our opinions or arguments, give data we have from research to support our opinions, the fact would more helpful to support our opinion arguments, than it should end with conclusion.

3. Based on data
in the research based part we knew that academic writing has to be based on data. If academic writing based on our opinion only without data support just untrusted reading sources.

4. Fact
We don’t allow to write something before we knew it is the fact. If is not than we were lied to the readers. Facts support also for the data we have.

5. Use formal language and scientific
words
Because it’s not novel or short-story or any other literary
work we have to use formal language and scientific words. It is more better use
formal language than slang language to avoid some misunderstanding between
writer and reader.
Those are some
differences between academic writing and literary works. However that five
differences tell that academic writing are way different to literary works.
Some academic writing’s examples are thesis, textbook,
skripsi (in Indonesia), article, etc.
