Academic writing traditions: switch from local to international publishing requirements

In 1966, an American linguist Robert Kaplan observed that “logic per se is a cultural phenomenon” (1966, p. 12). This means that what we consider to be logical and coherent in our culture might seem illogical and incoherent in another society. Therefore, it is essential for a researcher in a modern globalized world to be aware of international publishing requirements and the differences between the academic discourse construction in Russian and in English. During the workshop, we will talk about academic writing traditions in different cultures, and we will discuss how to make academic texts coherent in English. You will learn about the dimensions which will help you, the author, to construct your academic texts in compliance with international publishing expectations.
