A lot of scholars and academic content writers have trouble curating content in different domains even though they are well-versed in the topic. Some of the writers often get stuck with the writer’s block as well which is why they look for writing tips to improve their content. That is why, I decided to enlist a few useful writing practices fit for all disciplines that are commonly used by professional academic writers and have helped many young scholars. 
  • Prepare the Structure
The first step to write any academic paper or article is to prepare a structure or framework of what all needs to be included in it. It helps in eliminating confusion and understanding the topics as per their priority. Linking one part with the other also becomes easier this way.
  • Active voice
Keep your sentences and writing in an active voice. Practice rephrasing as much as you can and ways of writing in different structures which avoid passive voice. This writing practice helps you in beating both rephrasing plagiarism and creating broken sentences.
  • Punctuation
Use punctuation at the right time and the right place. The uses of “,” and “;” must be understood well in order to use it. A lot of writers end up breaking the sentences unnecessarily and by using the same punctuation. Use a mixture of punctuation to make your sentence look more professional.
  • Be Concise
Refrain yourself from writing in excess. Leave that part for the authors because in academic writing, the readers want precise writing. In other words, instead of increasing the word count focus on increasing the information provided. This is one of the most important writing practices that goes well with all the disciplines.
  • No Repetitions 
Do not repeat the same things by changing the sentence structure or rephrasing the sentence. The readers and supervisors can easily note these points out. Also, avoid using multiple adjectives or words which mean the same thing in the same line. 
  • Varied Sentence Structure
Do not just stick to one sentence structure, For example, use simple sentences as well as complex sentences, and make sure to use varied tones too. As one of the writing practices that suits all disciplines, this helps in keeping the content interesting instead of becoming monotonous.
  • Complex-Clear Sentences
This doesn’t mean that you need to write sentences which are hard to understand but instead of writing four simple sentences which can be written in one simple sentence should be considered. It shows your knowledge about the subject and keeps your content well-written.
  • Formal Tone
Another writing practice should involve keeping the tone of your writing formal. Avoid using informal or casual language when it comes to academic writing. Keep your sentences subject specific.
  • Stick to the Average Vocabulary
Vocabulary is a major factor that puts an impression on the supervisor. Remember to keep it average which means neither go way out of your normal vocabulary nor keep it too simple as the daily language.
  • Write Daily
Write daily, even little by little, but write daily. It helps in avoiding writer’s block as well as keep you in constant flow. It is one of the most useful writing practices as it keeps the writer focused and calm while writing instead of burdening them in the last.
  • Read More
Reading also helps in writing for various purposes. It familiarises the writer with the writing style, tone, vocabulary, information and ideas that can be used in the writing. It does not let the writer focus on the limited information they already have.
  • Detailed Editing
Lastly, edit your drafts yourself. Go through your written content after a time break which lets you distance yourself from the work and provide you the opportunity to revise your own work thoroughly. It helps you in writing more precisely.
These are the 12 useful writing practices which can help you improve your writing skills for any subject domain or discipline. It also helps you in gaining confidence about your project.
