Abstract

Research Article (RA) abstract in journals has been a popular topic of study in recent years. Several studies compared abstracts from various areas and journals (Abarghooeinezhad & Simin, 2015; Darabad, 2016; Saeeaw & Tangkiengsirisin, 2014; Tseng, 2011; Zamin & Hasan, 2018; Zhou & Liao, 2018). Unfortunately, studies regarding to comparison of research article abstracts in national and international journals have not been investigated. This research aimed at conducting move structure analysis of RA abstracts in those two journals. The journals analyzed were TEFLIN and TESOL Quarterly, as two examples of SCOPUS indexed journals, (Sinta, 2018; ResearchGate, 2018); 8 TEFLIN articles in 2017, 13 in 2018, and 26 TESOL Quarterly articles in 2018. Qualitative analysis adapted from Hyland (2000) was utilized for each move of the abstracts; Introduction, Purpose, Method, Product, and Conclusion (I-P-M-Pr-C). The results point at move structure pattern on research article abstracts in SCOPUS indexed journals, as a parameter for scholars who plan on publishing their articles in such journals.
