Description
Tian and Liu reviewed past studies on how writers build an identity in academic English writing. Identity shapes writing quality but is abstract and hard to pin down. Earlier reviews treated writing in general, not identity in papers, theses, and degree projects. The authors used a counting tool together with close reading of studies in the Web of Science, mapping keyword patterns and topic clusters.
Work in the field rose steadily until 2020. Frequent keywords centered on literacy, doctoral study, teaching, plagiarism, and gender. Clusters about social and cultural identity and the teaching of identity stood out as prominent. Clusters on authorial and job-related identity looked newer but drew less notice. The authors offer the map to help scholars pick fruitful paths and help students write with a clearer voice.
