A GENRE-BASED ANALYSIS ON THE INTRODUCTIONS OF RESEARCH ARTICLES WRITTEN BY INDONESIAN ACADEMICS
Full text linkThe main purpose of this study was to search for the occurrence of communicative and subcommunicative units and to identify the linguistic features commonly used by the authors to realize the communicative and subcommunicative units. Three groups of English RAs by Indonesian speakers were chosen for this study: 10 RAs from engineering science, ten from science and ten from medical science journals. This study used genre-based method to investigate the communicative units in the text by using Swales’ CARS as a model. The results show that 1) only 11 out of 30 (36.66%) RA introductions have a ‘niche establishment’, 2) out of 11 RA introduction with a niche establishment none is of counter claiming type, and 3) the discourse markers often used in the niche establishment are of the contradictory type and the linguistic features used are of lexical negation and negation of the phrasal verb. The findings confirm those of previous relevant studies that discourse styles and linguistic features of English RA introductions by Indonesian speakers are different from the ones by English native speakers

No full textAn Analysis of Rhetorical Moves in Introduction Sections of English Department Students’ Research Articles
No full textThis research is aimed at describing the introduction sections of Research Articles
(RAs) published in JEET viewed from Rhetorical Persepectives. It examined
whether introduction section of RAs in Journal of English Education and
Teaching (JEET) have essential moves and steps according to CARS Model by
John Swales (2004). Thirty Research Article introductions were chosen using
systematic random sampling to ensure a fairly equal representation of the
variables for the study. The results show that the most dominant move is Move 1
(Establishing A Territory); meanwhile, the most dominant step is Step 2 of Move
1 (Making Topic Generalization). The majority of RA Introductions belong to
Semi-Complete Pattern containing only two moves in it. It can be concluded that
the authors of articles published in JEET are not aware of the importance of
rhetorical moves in the introduction section. It can ve concluded that their article
introductions are different from CARS Model as suggested by Swales (2004).

tertinggi dalam penggunaan metadiscourse markers kategori pada tiga
level jurnal adalah transition markers. Evidentials markers berada di posisi
kedua dalam penggunaan kategori interactive metadiscourse marker yang
diikuti code glossed pada posisi ketiga. Endophoric markers dan frame
markers adalah kategori yang paling sedikit digunakan daripada 3 kategori
di atas. Kesimpulan yang didapat adalah frekuensi tertinggi dari kategori
interactive metadiscourse markers adalah transition markers dan itu
ditemukan di artikel penelitian yang terbit di ketiga level jurnal. Namun,

A Discourse Analysis of Rhetorical Style in Research Article Introduction in Law Studies Written by International Authors
No full textThis research is aimed at finding the most dominant move, step and the most common pattern of rhetorical style in Research Article Introduction in Law Studies Written by International Authors. The documentation technique and checklist were used in this research. Fifteen English RA introductions by International authors were analyzed by using discourse analysis technique, using quantitative as well as qualitative method and following Swales’ CARS Model (1990). The results show that the authors dominantly use Move 1 (Establishing a territory) and Step 2 of Move 1 (Making Topic Generalization). The fifteen articles mostly have the same model in leading to understanding to the article introduction. In addition, International authors of English RAs in Law Study prefer describing the phenomena and found the problem based on it to describing the previous research. The most common pattern is Complete Pattern. The articles which belong to Complete Pattern have three moves. While the one which has two moves belong to Semi complete and the one which has one move only belong to incomplete pattern. In conclusion, the articles in the three journals are categorized into appropriate articles in term of discourse structure
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
