Portuguese term or phrase: à sua maneira e fiéis aos seus estilos
Hi everyone! I'm translating the following academic abstract and am struggling with this phrase as my translation repeats 'in a ways': "In their own ways and true to their own styles, both authors wrote about immigrants and immigration in a way which was influenced by their own biographies". Any help appreciated! Thanks!

7. Formalismo e generalização nas sociologias do estrangeiro de Simmel e Schutz

Este trabalho analisa criticamente as sociologias do estrangeiro de Georg Simmel e de Alfred Schutz. Ambos autores ***à sua maneira e fiéis aos seus estilos** escreveram sobre imigrantes e imigração influenciados fortemente por suas biografias. São influentes na compreensão sociológica do estrangeiro como tipo social, mas ambos têm definições excessivamente formalistas que não exploram a riqueza dos aspectos comunicacionais envolvidos na relação entre nativo cultural e estrangeiro. Deixam, assim, inexploradas as potencialidades de inovação cognitiva e avanço epistemológico possibilitado pelo fenômeno da imigração. O trabalho parte de uma análise comparativa das obras referenciais de ambos os autores para tratarem dessa relação.
Palavras-chave: Estrangeiro; cognição; cultura; Simmel; Schutz.

neutral  Richard Purdom: teacher here, spelling mistake and way/style should be in plural unless they shared it/them!

  -> Yes it does sound a bit like Simon and Garfunkel
agree  Muriel Vasconcellos: With slight changes: both authors, each in their own way and true to their style. BTW, I looked up that use of plural the other day and it's perfectly OK.

Explanation:
Your rendering of this expression seems perfect to me. It could be easier to change the other instance of the repeated word? Instead of "both authors wrote (...) in a way which was influenced...", you could have "both authors wrote (...) in a manner which...".
