Abstract

Scientific writing is not remunerative, not suitable for livelihood and not considered a hobby in general. If so, why should we resort to it? 
Academic Scientific writing is the glue that holds together scientific works. Academic scientific writing can be thought of as a specialized type of science writing that captures and shares scientific knowledge. It is published in academic journals after peer-reviewed by other scientists. Most common types of academic scientific writing are original research article (which can be based on thesis work), review article, brief report, case series, case report, letter to editor, image in clinical practice, etc.
