The review is devoted to new works in which modern forms of scientific writing are analyzed, also, the genre of the academic text is considered: Lupton, D., Mewburn, I., Thomson, P. The digital academic. Critical perspectives on digital technologies in higher education (2018); Sawaki, T. Analysing structure in academic writing (2016); Graff, G., Birkenstein, C. “They say / I say”. The moves that matter in academic writing (2006). Analyzing Internet platforms used for publishing and discussing scientific research, subjecting the structural model of a scientific text to theoretical rethinking, the authors demonstrate the importance of alternative ways of expressing scientific ideas, speak of the possibility of a broader interpretation of the concept of “academic writing”. Recent studies have shown that blogging and twittering can serve as a tool to integrate into the academic community and build academic reputation. The authors propose to get away from the formalist interpretation of the genre of scientific text, present academic writing as a continuing dialogue, demonstrate that its genre structure is always open for modifications.
