INTRODUCTION IN SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH ARTICLES BY INDONESIAN AUTHORS: A COMPARATIVE MOVE ANALYSIS

The introduction section of a research article (RA) is crucial, as it serves as the foundation for the entire research study. A well-crafted introduction can captivate readers, offering essential insights into the background and rationale for the study, while also conveying the research's quality and reliability. This study investigates how novice versus experienced social science researchers introduce their work in English research articles (RAs) published in internationally recognized Scopus-indexed journals compared to those published in Indonesian national journals. We analyze the rhetorical structure and linguistic features used in these introductions. Employing Swales' (2004) Create A Research Space (CARS) model as a theoretical framework, this descriptive comparative qualitative study delves into the analysis of commonalities and differences in the execution of rhetorical moves and steps, as well as linguistic features and metadiscourse. The results reveal that both sets of data exhibited all three rhetorical moves outlined in the CARS model, namely Move 1 (Establishing a Territory), Move 2 (Establishing a Niche), and Move 3 (Presenting the Current Work). However, the findings also underscore distinctions in how these steps and metadiscourse were realized, indicating that writers in both groups employed distinct approaches when introducing their research studies. Implications to English teaching at universities and publication workshops are discussed.

Promising Novelty in Articles: How Authors Publishing in Sinta and Scopus-Indexed Journals Differ or Resemble

Many academics have studied niche establishment tactics in journal articles, but none have studied two or more sets of journal articles in language studies. This study identifies how Scopus and Sinta English Language Teaching journal authors niche their research paper abstracts and introductions. Niche Establishment techniques in Sinta and Scopus-indexed journals were examined using qualitative and quantitative methods. This analysis used 100 Scopus- and Sinta-indexed research articles. From randomly selected journals' newest issues, research article parts were extracted. Most authors in the two sets of research publications define a niche in the introduction, but few do in the abstracts. Scopus-index journals use Strategy 2 (insufficient research) and Strategy 5 (suggesting solutions) the most, while Sinta-indexed journals use Strategy 2 and Strategy 1. For rookie authors and postgraduate students, this study proposes niche establishment tactics in research paper abstracts or introductions to improve writing.

Functionalism Paradigm in Second Language Writing

This paper uses a corpus-based analysis systematic literature review to track the influence of functionalism paradigm in second language writing (SLW) over the last five years. The data were analyzed by using keywords and collocation analysis to map the closest association of functional paradigm to second language writing. It was then reviewed manually and thematized based on the research questions as the framework. Based on a corpus of 46 Scopus indexed journals ranges from 2017-2022 this study reveals that the influence of functionalism paradigm does not directly affect to SLW. Functional paradigm spawned the concept of context which then be interpreted and manifested into functional linguistic approach. Thus, studies on SLW revolves around the application of systemic functional linguistics (SFL) to either teaching or assessing SLW. The elements of functionalism paradigm that affects to SLW are the basic assumption and the values of functional paradigm that perceived each variable in a text has a purpose. As an implication, second language writing composition using SFL focuses on text purpose and lexicogrammatical features. Functional linguists perceive language diversity in second language writing as functional, ensuring mutual intelligibility if communicative functions work effectively.
