Writing up
When you come to writing up your assignment or dissertation there are a number of elements that you must consider
1. The tone, style and format of your writing - academic writing
2. The legality and ethics of your writing- Plagiarism and Intellectual Property
3. The authority and traceability of your research and sources- Referencing
J. Rothman- New Yorker
"Academic writing has an ambiguous mission. It’s supposed to be dry but also clever; faceless but also persuasive; clear but also completist... because it’s intended for a very small audience of hyper-knowledgable, mutually acquainted specialists, it’s actually among the most personal writing there is. If journalists sound friendly, that’s because they’re writing for strangers. With academics, it’s the reverse.."
