> When I was doing my PhD What field, if I may ask? There's an article titled "Writing higher education differently: a manifesto on style" by Helen Sword <http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/03075070802597101 http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/03075070802597101> advocating for academic writers to "express complex ideas clearly and succinctly; write with originality, imagination and creative flair; convey enthusiasm, commitment and a strong sense of self; tap into a wide range of intellectual interests; avoid excessive jargon; employ plenty of concrete examples and illustrations; demonstrate care for their readers; and know how to tell a good story" Also, academics may appreciate the book Writing for Social Scientists, by Howard S. Becker. This is true even if your field is is not social science. You can probably safely skim most of the chapter on "Writing With Computers", as it was first written in 1986 (back when typewriters were being replaced with "word processors") and revised in 2007.
