Why are academic papers written so inaccessibly?
But isn't the purpose of academic research to advance knowledge in a field? Wouldn't it make sense for that knowledge to be accessible to a wider audience?
Yes, that's a valid point. However, academic papers are primarily written for other researchers and scholars in a specific field, who have a certain level of expertise and understanding. It can be challenging to balance the need for accuracy and complexity with accessibility and readability for a broader audience.
