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.

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.
