Having been in academia myself, I remember "learning" how to write articles by reading other articles. With the exception of one briljant prof I had, most other professors would expect you to write in that style, and if not, that would typically be reflected in your grade. I don't even think this is intentional, they probably learned to write articles the same way. I remember that the best written articles are typically also from tenured professors leading the field they were writing about, and who would not need to worry about bad peer reviews or other ways their articles would be assessed. (Which leads to the question of they became tenured because of their great communication, or if they are finally free to communicate normally now that they've reached a tenured position)
