Its purpose is to aid the reader’s understanding.  It has a formal tone and style, but it is not complex and does not require the use of long sentences and complicated vocabulary.

1. Often in academic writing, we don't want to focus on who is doing an action, but on who is receiving or experiencing the action. The passive voice is thus extremely useful in academic writing because it allows writers to highlight the most important participants or events within sentences by placing them at the beginning of the sentence. 

Examples
In the following sentences, the passive construction is preferable because you want readers to focus on the result of an action rather than the person doing the action.

Active: Scientists classify glass as a solid. 
Passive: Glass is classified as a solid.
The passive sentence focuses on how glass is classified, rather than on who classifies glass.
