what an academic text is

an academic text could be a written production with certain orden. first, and as a general rule, it must have a special purpose, i think an educational one; it is to say the text must be conduced to teach and help people in a specific field or area of knowledge.
second, the text must be written using specialized vocabulary and reliable references and sources.
third, it must be directed to an audience able not just to read it, but also to understand it.
finally, and i think one of the most important, an academic text is to develop concepts.

  2. Although you express clearly your idea, you should not abuse of "must".
    Particularly I think if you write with uncertainty "...cuold be a written production"
    you should not switch to the astonishing firmness of "must".
