    Different Forms of Academic Texts


    SCHOOLBOOKS/ TEXTBOOKS

    Textbooks are specifically designed to


    help the learner. Textbooks vary in
    style, tone and level depending on their
    audience. They are a good place to
    start when learning about a new topic.
    PERIODICALS

    A periodical is a type of publication that


    appears at regular, predictable, short
    intervals. They include such items as
    magazines, scholarly or professional
    journals, industry/trade journals,
    newspapers, and newsletters.
    NEWSPAPERS/ MAGAZINE ARTICLES
    A newspaper is a serial publication which
    contains news on current events of special or
    general interest. The individual parts are listed
    chronologically or numerically and appear
    frequently, usually at least once a week but
    sometimes fortnightly or monthly.

    A magazine is a periodical publication which is


    printed in gloss-coated and matte paper. Magazines
    are generally published on a regular schedule and
    contain a variety of content. They are generally
    financed by advertising, by a purchase price, by
    prepaid subscriptions, or a combination of the three.
    RESEARCH/ JOURNAL ARTICLES
    Journal articles are shorter than
    books and written about very specific
    topics. A journal is a collection of
    articles (like a magazine) that is
    published regularly throughout the
    year. Journals present the most recent
    research, and journal articles are
    written by experts
    THESIS AND DISSERTATIONS

    The main difference between a thesis


    and a dissertation is when they are
    completed. The thesis is a project that
    marks the end of a bachelor's program,
    while the dissertation occurs during
    doctoral study.
    The two are actually quite different in their purpose, as
    well. A thesis is a compilation of research that proves you are
    knowledgeable about the information learn throughout your
    program. A dissertation is your opportunity during a
    doctorate program to contribute new knowledge, theories or
    practices to your field. The point is to come up with an
    entirely new concept, develop it and defend its worth.

    Structure of
    Academic Texts
    The structure of academic texts
    depends not only on the logical
    development of a topic but also on
    conventions within disciplines.
    The three-part essay structure is a
    basic structure that consists of
    introduction, body and conclusion. The
    introduction and the conclusion should
    be shorter than the body of the text.
