Academic Research Writing

Ahmed H. Hamid Fadlalla has noticed a disturbing trend over more than twenty years of teaching academic writing and research to students: They are getting worse at it-not better.

The problem led him to publish this writing guide, which is well-structured and accessible. Even beginners will be equipped to conduct research and write about findings with step-by-step instructions. You'll learn how to:

use only reputable internet sources;
evaluate URLs before visiting them;
master different methods of data collection; and
conduct meaningful interviews with subjects.
use the appropriate language and style of academic writing
detect and avoid the most vexing common writing errors in English


The author also explores ethical considerations for conducting interviews, how to avoid plagiarism, best practices when attributing a source, how to format papers, and how to write them well-from start to finish.

Filled with a wide range of research-related topics, data methods, common errors, and referencing methods, this guide is an essential resource for anyone serious about conducting research and writing scholarly papers.
