The difference between the two is that in order to explain the author's knowledge level and research ability, the paper will introduce the research history, research status, research methods and research process in detail. Most academic papers are straightforward. Generally, the background of the topic is briefly described in the introduction, which is listed in the form of notes or references.

The paper is written in detail in the process of calculation, experiment and derivation. However, academic papers generally only write the main processes and results of calculation, experiment and deduction.

The purpose of academic papers is to publish research results as soon as possible and emphasize the academic and application value of the articles. The paper emphasizes the systematicness and integrity of the article.
