Academic socialization refers to the interactive process through which individuals acquire the knowledge, skills, values, attitudes, norms, and behaviors associated with participation in academic contexts ^[1][2]. It involves learning the expectations and practices required to perform academic roles and participate in scholarly communities. Academic socialization occurs through formal educational activities, such as coursework and research training, as well as through informal interactions with faculty, supervisors, peers, and other members of academic communities ^[3][4][5]. Through these processes, individuals develop understandings of academic practices, disciplinary expectations, scholarly communication, and professional roles ^[2][4]. Academic socialization is not limited to the transmission of established norms; it also involves individuals’ interpretation and negotiation of academic expectations within particular institutional and disciplinary contexts. The concept therefore encompasses the development of academic identities and orientations alongside the acquisition of practices and norms associated with academic participation.
