Strategy 1A:

Many researcher researches on this article:(Baleghizadeh, 2012), McEnery and Xiao (2011),

Qualitative report:

Move 1:

Strategy 1B, 1C:

The researcher in this article investigates that the article is well established and significant.

The research also presents back ground information:

“the need and benefit of systematic information on the current research trends of a discipline
at both national and international domains attract attention in several domains.”

Move 2:

Strategy 2A:
Many researcher researches on this research name as follows:

(Hsu, 2005), (Chang, Chang, & Tseng, 2010; Lee, Wu & Tsai, 2009; Tsai, & Wen, 2005; White,

2009; Riazi & Candlin, 2014) and rest.

Strategy 2B:

This article has presents both positive and negative evaluation related to research.

“Educational research literature shows that the research output of Turkish scholars have
constantly been increasing due to probably more stringent requirements on academic output”

Move 3:

Strategy 3B:

The researcher in this article finds gap:

“Some research findings (Cheng & Fox, 2013; Gao, Yanyi &Yuxia, 2014; Motha, 2009; Riazi
& Candlin, 2014) also highlight the increase in the number of mixed research design and the
need of research studies about the methodological issues.”

Move 4:

Strategy 4A:

In this article researcher discusses five research question related to the article:

1. What is the subject distribution of the published articles in terms of years (2005-2015)?

2. What research methods have been employed in the published articles at Turkish context?
(Quantitative-Qualitative-Mixed)

Qualitative Report:

Move 1:

Strategy 1A, 1B:

The author of this article discusses that topic is general. Writer in this article create current

detachment.”

Move 2:

Strategy 2A:

Many previous researcher researches on this article:

(e.g. Adel, 2008; Fairclough, 2001; Foster, 2005), Mair (1998, p. 153), Fairclough (2001, p. 52),
Atkinson (1999), Hyland and Anan (2006), Heylighen and Dewaele (1999, p. 1) and rest.

Strategy 2B:

The researcher in this research discusses the positive and negative evaluation regarding this
article:

“formal language is delineated in terms of being “very correct and serious rather than relaxed
and friendly” whereas it deals with ‘negative politeness’ in pragmatics and the deployment of
disaffecting behavior to esteem the face of another side and circumvent imposition on the face
their own (Brown & Levinson, 1978)”

Move 3:

Strategy 3B:

In this research article author finds gap:

“One should not, nevertheless, surmise that the gap between academic writing and
conversation is being bridged (Hyland, 2004)”
Move 4:

Strategy 4B:

The researcher in this article also discusses research question that are as follows:

“The questions which shape the premise upon which this study is constructed are as follows:
Are native writers inclined to employ some informality features more intensely and the others
less? How about non-native writers? Can they appropriately conform to native speakers’
writing norms in terms of informality? Do they overuse or underuse informality in general or
some of its specific features in particular?”
