What is an academic text?
Second version

An academic text can be defined as a writing production that contributes to any scientific or university community by responding searching questions to the members of these groups. Therefore, these kinds of text are addressed to a specialized audience, like scientists or any academic institution, like a university or a searching center.
Academic texts contain literary, historical and cultural references. They have the potential to be used for educational purposes. For instance, a monograph, a thesis, an essay, a searching study or a paper are good example of an academic text, since they are well – structured and they have a specific aim.
To conclude, we can say that an academic text seeks to develop ideas and concepts in order to pass on a particular and useful knowledge.
