Academic writing is about, independently as well as based on the knowledge retrieved from others, writing in your own words how you have solved a problem or problematized a certain aspect. You'll have to state clearly which facts and thoughts you've found in the literature and what is your own contribution by using in-text- references and collect all your sources in a reference list.
