Thursday Thoughts: Scholarly Voice and Tone

Have you been told that your phrasing is too casual in tone and you need a more formal tone? Are you confused about what scholarly voice and tone mean? New and returning students often struggle with creating the “right” voice and tone for academic audiences—voice and tone that differ from a lot of what people read on a more daily basis, such as blogs, social media feeds, and news or magazine articles. 

Check out the Writing Center’s sources on scholarly voice and tone to learn more about what this important aspect of scholarly writing entails.  

The Walden Writing Center provides information and assistance to students with services like live chat, webinars, course visits, paper reviews, podcasts, modules, and the writing center webpages. Through these services they provide students assistance with APA, scholarly writing, and help students gain skills and confidence to enhance their scholarly work.
