Writing an academic paper about language and/or literature is not easy, a lot of things

should be considered when writing. I've read 10 research papers about language and literature
and one of the things that I’ve observed is that most of them are very systematic.
Misinterpretation can be avoided if the research is done systematically. Some of these
research studies conducted surveys and observations to provide more evidence that can
justify the research.
Another thing that I’ve observed is the clarity of the language used in the research
papers. It should be well written and it has to be in the right tense. I also notice that academic
paper used politically correct words to avoid offenses and/or discrimination to other people.
Some of these researches are a little bit biased, because of their used of words. It seems like
some of the statements are not arguable.
Based on the date that these research papers we’re published, these issues are timely
and in need of attention. Meaning, research papers are done based on timely issues and
problems that are need to be address, it should also be applicable the society. Since the
research papers that I’ve read are about language and/or literature, the topics are about the
issues and problems that teachers and students are experiencing.
In the review related literature citation is very important. Wherever you look at in the
RRL citations can be seen. It is important to cite all the reference you’ve gathered to avoid
plagiarism. You also have to relate each of your references in order to make a good point.
Some of the related literature used in these research papers came from previous studies about
similar topics. It means that a research paper has to be accurate and concise because it may be
used as a reference if ever it was published.
