Scholarly Writing
Scholarly writing is known to be a type of categorized writing and not superior to journalism or fiction. There are expectations, traditions and values that must be adhered to in this style of writing. According to Watson (2010), experts in a particular field write articles using scholarly writing. These articles have a primary audience in the field of study. Hence, scholarly articles are written in a more advanced and refined manner than general writings. Scholarly writing is known to have an objective stance, which states the significance of a well-organized topic. The article is detailed effectively and provides for reproduction by other scholars with the same results (para. 2). Learning what scholarly writing is and implementing guidelines of this style of writing will enable a scholar-practitioner to create successful articles personally and professionally.
