In academic writing, the repetition of concepts, words, or phrases can become tedious and repetitious. There are, however, ways to prevent duplication in academic writing and make it more enjoyable to read.
The writer may utilize two strategies to generate repetition in research or other academic writing. One example is when a writer repeats thoughts over and over again when there is no purpose to do so. The author's usage of the same words, phrases, or sentences throughout the study report is the other. Both of these elements have the potential to detract from the appeal of a work of literature.

Read the passage aloud to yourself.
Put yourself in the position of the reader and go over what you've written. This is a great way to improve your reader's comprehension of what you're saying. Read loudly or softly to yourself as if you were a reader to see if there is any unnecessary repetition. This is the most efficient way of detecting and correcting duplication. Reading aloud has various advantages, and it is the most effective method for identifying faults.

Use a thesaurus to help you come up with new words.
Synonyms can be used to avoid using overused terminology again. Even if that one term isn't always the best match, we can jam it into many pages. For example, the word "study" or "to study" may fit in one location but not in all if you rewrite it. You may replace the phrases study and to study with words like analyze, interpret, scrutinize, comprehend, examine, know, and so on. Some students use the same phrase without recognizing that it is not the best option. As a result, it's best to look out better options in a thesaurus.

Editing,
I'll add that you should revise your work as many times as you need to be satisfied, both as a writer and as a potential reader. This is crucial because some students sit back and relax after finishing the first draft of their assignment. Because they assume the duty they are supposed to do has already been done. This, however, is not the case! Go over the first draft again and again when you've finished it, looking for any errors or redundancies. This takes a long time because as you read, you'll see errors that weren't obvious when you first wrote it.
Request that your work be read and modified by a teacher, friend, supervisor, research adviser, or other expert in your field. If you're not confident about your language abilities, have a linguist go at your work. There are many options, and this will help you find any recurring concepts, words, or phrases that might be replaced.

Remove any extraneous information.

Students are often concerned that deleting unnecessary parts from their work may result in it being too short. Even if we like what we've written or typed with such care and attention, saving anything that isn't essential is futile. Remember that this is a form of redundancy or repetition, and it is not required for your task. Keep your writing short, accurate, and succinct unless you've been asked to provide extensive detail.

To put it another way, only use details and repetition when they will help the reader better understand the subject. Otherwise, keep your writing succinct, precise, concise, and to-the-point. Remember that your writing is how you transmit to the reader hard and tiresome research, therefore make it appealing.
