Because 'wiedermal' (once again) is colloquial, it should be avoided in formal texts such as emails to supervisors or academic papers. In those contexts, 'wieder einmal' is the correct form.
Ich muss Sie bitten, die Unterlagen wieder einmal zu überprüfen.
I must ask you to review the documents once again.
As an adverb, 'wiedermal' (once again) can stand in position 1, followed by the verb. It can also stand inside the sentence after the verb and the subject.
Wiedermal habe ich meinen Schlüssel vergessen.
Once again, I forgot my key.
again
Both words show that something is happening again, often as it has happened several times before. „Erneut“ sounds neutral and matter-of-fact, while „wiedermal“ is colloquial and, depending on the situation, can express slight annoyance or resignation. „Erneut“ is therefore suitable for formal notices, while „wiedermal“ is more typical of casual conversation.
Der Bus kommt heute wegen der Baustelle wiedermal zu spät.
The bus is late once again today because of the construction work.
Der Bus kommt heute wegen der Baustelle erneut zu spät.
The bus is late again today because of the construction work.
