Let's not confuse "academic writing" and "academic publication". "Academic publication" is a publication in an academic edition. A blog post or a forum post is not an "academic publication". "Academic writing", on the other hand, is writing that adheres to the principles, styles and standards of academic publications. A blog post or a forum post may or may not represent academic writing.
Quality is a tricky question. Quite a number of academic publications do not boast high quality. Many still, have no scientific value whatsoever.
Quote:After a positive review, the paper is published, has a date and basically a 'quality stamp'.
