Abstract
This paper presents the results from a questionnaire on academic writing which was sent to a representative sample of 75 academics at the University of Keele, England, and 100 academics at the University of Waterloo, Canada. The response rate from each institution was low (41 and 34% respectively) but higher than that reported in earlier research. An analysis of the results obtained, comparing arts, social science and science faculties is presented, together with a discussion of the findings, their instructional implications and their limitations.Keywords
