<![CDATA[Academic texts are fundamental elements in scientific communication used to convey ideas in a systematic, objective, and evidence-based manner. However, the lack of a unified understanding of the definition, characteristics, and genres of academic texts remains a challenge in strengthening academic writing skills in educational settings. This study aims to analyze academic texts in terms of their definition, characteristics, and genres as a foundation for scientific writing. The research employs a qualitative approach using a literature review method based on relevant academic sources, including national journals and scholarly books. The findings reveal that academic texts have various definitions but share a common feature as formal, structured, and scientific texts. The main characteristics of academic texts include the use of standardized language, logical structure, and data- and reference-based argumentation. In addition, academic text genres consist of research articles, research reports, academic essays, and literature reviews. These findings emphasize that a comprehensive understanding of academic texts is essential as a basis for producing high-quality scientific writing.]]>
