Readers’ decisions about the relevance and significance of research presented in a journal article are often influenced by the introduction section. Several factors contribute to authors’ writing of effective introductions. This descriptive study aimed to explore strategies used by English and Turkish authors in the introduction section of educational sciences research articles published between 2012 and 2018. Towards this end, the creation of a research space (CARS) model and authorial voice were investigated in a 358,068-word collection of 62 journal articles (31 Turkish & 31 English). Results showed that the English collection revealed more frequent use of the submoves in CARS. Additionally, it included other moves (i.e., announcing principal findings and description of the methodology used) which were absent in the Turkish collection of text. The authors of the English introductions and those of the Turkish introductions also differed from each other significantly in their use of authorial voice. The former used the active voice more often than the passive voice. There was also some use of personal pronouns in the English texts while they were never used in the Turkish texts. These results point to a general pattern in education research article introductions in English and Turkish. The results imply that authors' lack of attention to these trends when writing in a foreign language may result in limited visibility in their fields. It is, therefore, recommended that scholars and training students should be informed about the ways they could navigate these issues within their discourse communities.

用英语和土耳其语撰写的研究文章的引言部分:教育科学案例–初步研究

读者在期刊文章中提出的有关研究的相关性和重要性的决定通常受到引言部分的影响。有几个因素有助于作者撰写有效的介绍。这项描述性研究旨在探讨英语和土耳其作者在2012年至2018年间发表的教育科学研究文章介绍部分中使用的策略。为此,在358,068中研究了研究空间(CARS)模型和作者声音的创建62篇期刊文章的单词收集(31种土耳其语和31种英语)。结果表明,英文馆藏表明在CARS中更频繁地使用这些子动作。此外,它还包括其他举动(例如,宣布土耳其文集缺少的主要发现和所用方法的描述。英文简介的作者和土耳其简介的作者在使用作者声音方面也存在很大差异。前者使用主动语音的频率要高于被动语音。英文文本中还使用了人称代词,而土耳其语文本中从未使用过。这些结果指出了英语和土耳其语的教育研究文章介绍的总体模式。结果表明,使用外语写作时作者对这些趋势的关注不足,可能会导致其领域的可见度有限。因此,
