Welcome to AWE — a guide to Academic Writing in English. AWE aims to give helpful advice, rather than to be prescriptive - it does not tell you what to do. It is not a dictionary or an encyclopedia. It is meant for students in Higher Education in the UK, including non-native speakers.
Newcomers may wish to know more about AWE or get help with using AWE.
