STEM vs. humanities: differences in academic writing

And the differences are huge! So huge that we can safely talk about two different research cultures — or even two different research worlds.

One example: the function and style of language.
In STEM, language is considered in a strictly utilitarian sense: its main function is to convey the contents as clearly, precisely and succinctly as possible.
In contrast, language is considered art in the humanities. As a result, the authors use complex, rich and diverse language.

(Blog articles providing an overview of these differences as well as further opinions and perspectives follow soon.)
