Essay / Research Paper Abstract
6 pages in length. Opposite of what many believe to be true, having a scholarly voice does not mean dazzling an audience with fancy words they do not understand or long, awkward sounding words that throw off the sentence's entire rhythm. Rather, a scholarly voice is found within a more concise use of the English language that utilizes unadorned words and brevity when appropriate. This does not mean, however, to completely avoid elaborate vocabulary when it is necessary to illustrate a particularly complex point, but rather to steer clear of vernacular traps that either cause writers to sound too minimal in their explication (as though they are writing for children) or too flamboyant so as not to appear overstated. For the most part, if a sentence appears too crowded with words, it probably is and will make the writer come across as having questionable scholarly merit. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

sentence appears too crowded with words, it probably is and will make the writer come across as having questionable scholarly merit ("Introduction to Scholarly Writing: Finding a Scholarly Voice," date
unspecified). The appropriate characteristics of scholarly writing, therefore, include as brief and concise a word as possible that gets across the intended meaning; the use of proven evidence rather than
strong personal feelings to express a point; being fastidious about proper grammar and correct spelling (Lambie et al, 2008); always accepting constructive criticism to help mold the desired voice; and
realizing it is an ongoing process. Moreover, using the first person is an acceptable practice up to a point, allowable only in the context of inserting neutral comments about
the researchers involvement as in "the children tossed the ball to me, I tossed it back and they continued their game." Inappropriate use of the first person is when
opinion or bias is interjected to what is an otherwise impartial piece of writing ("Introduction to Scholarly Writing: Finding a Scholarly Voice," date unspecified).
The reason why all of this matters is the need to differentiate between which resources are academic in value when compared to the onslaught of self-proclaimed "experts" who readily
