The logo of the journal is a wheel, a symbol that wants to evoke several ideas: creativity and forward motion, the wisdom eye that enters into the knowledge of reality, the sun that radiates knowledge and makes ideas shine more clearly, as well as the globe, the sign of an education that is interested in the society where it belongs. This symbol, together with some other figures, is represented in the famous picture painted by Raphael entitled “the School of Athens”, in recognition of one of the most important moments of Pedagogy.

The production of written texts is a constant activity in higher
education. Students, staff and researchers are constantly involved in
writing for different purposes. This paper presents the results of an
exploratory descriptive survey of academic writing programs in public
universities around the world. The main aim of the survey was to
compare the existing offer in terms of a number of formal features
—curricular insertion, admission policy and periodicity—, and constant
features —contents, activities, methodologies and evaluation—. Anna Escofet Roig, M.ª José Rubio Hurtado y Liliana Tolchinsky Key words: Written Text, Higher Education, Academic Writing. |
