  2. Academic writing is formal writing with the use of extensive sources and research to inform a certain audience(logos). Nonacademic writing is informal writing intended for a lay audience, often without the use of sources or research (pathos). https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1475158505000524 https://www.academia.edu/41701019/Quality_Recognition_of_Banana_Images_using_Classifiers_

  3. Academic writings use formal and credible citations to enhance the factuality of the text.

    Nonacademic writings are more informal and casual, not using as many sources and citations.

  4. Academic writing is the writing style for a professional often impersonal report or paper that address the scholarly rather than nonacademic writing that appeals to the general public.

  5. Academic writing is impersonal and unbiased with the intent of being read by other professionals and scholars in that particular field. Nonacademic is personal, opinionated, and written for the masses. Academic writing in biology would refer to a scientific journal such as the American Medical Journal and nonacademic would be like a pharmaceutical ad on the television.

  6. Academic writing is a writing directed towards a scholarly audience that is selective for that topic of writing thats based on topics and facts. While nonacademic writing is towards a mass audience for information. An example of academic writing would be an article about the results of an experiment or a class from a credible source.

  7. Academic writing is a piece of literature that is rhetorical, used for academic purposes such as helping teachers, usually concise, strongly credible, and very formal. Non-Academic is a source for general public that is informal and more entertainment. An academic source is "Chapter 3: Augustus, Power, Authority, Achievement" and it is an academic source because it uses factual evidence to persuade an audience through a historical opinion. A non-academic source is rolling Stones "They Joy and Heartbreak of Cheer" because it is for entertainment and address a large audience. The last source is Playboy magazine is most definitely not an academic source as it applies to a large audience and is purely for entertainment.
