Writing types
2. INTRODUCTION
In a scholastic forum there are many writing types, which have been
formulated to give the suited results and references to its
targeted audience and to maintain a high standard in research among
scholars.
These writing types include academic journal, peer-review
journal/article, white paper, newspaper, empirical study,
literature review, book review, and annotated bibliography.
This project seeks to provide a summary of each writing type and
also identifies some of the reasons why books and peer-reviewed
articles are the two most preferred written sources in graduate
writing.
