Regulatory base on academic integrity and quality assurance of academic writing in higher education in Ukraine

Abstract

A stable impediment to the development of good academic writing skills in Ukraine is the tradition of academic writing practices of low quality and that fail to meet the best international experience and requirements (imperfect structure of the scientific article and annotation to it, lack of tradition of proper peer review, the need for scientific publications for the report, and not as a presentation of their own research, etc.). The pressure of these traditions significantly impedes the spreading of best practices in academic writing in Ukraine, both among researchers and teachers, and among students. Teachers teach students the same writing skills they possess. Separate academic writing courses for undergraduate and postgraduate students are nowadays the exception rather than the rule.The tradition of teaching students academic writing should be shaped from the moment they are admitted to a higher educational institution.
