Academic research writing from an intercultural perspective

Abstract

Relevance. At the moment, issues related to intercultural development are becoming particularly relevant. This is conditioned upon the dynamic social changes caused mainly by globalisation. Accordingly, researchers are analysing the characteristics of each culture more often, including those related to the academic research writing. Purpose. The purpose of this study is an in-depth investigation of the main intercultural perspectives and factors reflected in academic research writing. Methodology. For this purpose, various methodological tools were used in the study. In particular, functional and dialectical methodological approaches, the analysis and synthesis, comparison, and generalisation methods. Results. Notably, a number of essential and priority results were obtained during the study, covering the question from different points of view. In particular, in the theoretical context, the essence and peculiarity of the general theoretical concepts forming the research object, the academic research and cross-cultural features were investigated. In addition, the practical foundations based on comparing different states and cultures, particularly their customs, affecting scientific activity, were also investigated. Conclusions. The practical value lies in the possibility of using the study for future research and developing a full-fledged classification of academic research based on their territoriality. The subject under study is quite contradictory, as evidenced by its multidimensional nature, which necessitates further analysis. A promising area for this is to establish the main factors influencing the development of differences in academic research writing in different countries.
