Abstract

Objective: To assess the role of excellence and competencies in academic writing and how these have evolved, particularly in light of changes in the education system and technological advances.
Methodology: A comprehensive search was conducted to gather literature published across ten formats, which was subsequently downloaded from journals indexed in the Scopus database in a comma-separated values (CSV) file for systematic analysis. The search utilized the terms "Academic Writings," "Academic Attitude," and "Academic Excellence," and was restricted to the timeframe from 1991 to 2020.
Results: The available data encompasses ten distinct publication formats, which include articles (1820, 76.5%), books (30, 1.2%), book chapters (198, 8.3%), conference papers (119, 5%), editorials (39, 1.6%), errata (6, 0.2%), letters (13, 0.5%), notes (32, 1.3%), reviews (111, 4.6%), and short surveys (10, 0.4%). This information is derived from a total of 2378 documents collected for analysis. In the second decade, there was a 14% increase in the literature ratio compared to the first decade, while the third decade saw a 51.8% rise in the publication ratio relative to the first decade, based on the same total of 2378 publications. Specifically, the first decade accounted for 6.7% of the documents, the second decade for 20.6%, and the third decade for 72.5%.
Conclusion: Excellence in academic writing can be achieved by several means. It involves developing a positive attitude towards academic writing, which includes a commitment to producing high-quality work. By adopting these qualities, writers striving for academic excellence can create work that meets the highest academic writing standards and significantly advance knowledge.
