On Academic Writing

Articles as Magazine


I detest the kind of writing in journals because it is as if you have to sound like you are writing for a magazine. You cannot be frank. You cannot simply be demonstrative, as one might be in, say, mathematics. You have to “compose” the idea. You have to do something not unlike what television might do to make the presentation interesting. A better program would simply let one be frank and to then say why his contribution was offered. All of the rest seems like fluff and decoration.
