The only long paper I ever wrote was my english senior paper. Teacher said the academic way of writing was quoting paragraph, even page long references, citing them, and then adding your own bits in between. Wrote maybe 10% original stuff, got an A, felt like cheating. Have the academics just gotten sloppy?

Reading most of the academic papers give me headache. In a single topic, after reading 3rd paper I feel like trapped in time and reading same thing all the time.
