Acronyms in academic writing
The way to deal with acronyms in our academic writing is that on it's first use, you need to define the term, by writing the name in full and the acronym in brackets. Thereafter you can use only the acronym in your sentences.
Here is an example:
Broad based black economic empowerment (BBBEE) has been put in place by the South African government to redress the inequalities of the past. BBBEE with its complex and detailed scorecard has created a niche consulting opportunity for management consultants.
