I've had several conversations recently with academics and PHD researchers about how inaccessible some academic writing can be, after which I stumbled across a really interesting (and of course accessible) article in the Times Higher Education Supplement by Helen Sword about academic writing Narrative trust. The author targets academics who write, but most, if not all of the points can be applied to any type of writing in academia.
Helen Sword is the author of Stylish Academic Writing which is available to borrow from the library.
