Guide to academic reading and writing

This guide is part of the University Library's academic writing support. It can help you develop your academic language, reading, and writing.

In our reading and writing guide you can search for answers to your questions about texts and writing. Here, you will find videos and information about different aspects of academic writing, such as structure, summarizing techniques, grammatical accuracy, and scientific style. If you cannot find the answer you are looking for, you are welcome to visit our drop-in. At present, we can only offer some guidance on structuring academic and popular science texts, and on referencing. 

Watch a film from Lund University for a brief introduction to academic writing (2:56).
