       To share knowledge in the academic world, researchers might need to publish their research articles (RAs) in high-impact journals. And, to do that, they should improve their writing skills. Many investigations have analyzed the distribution of metadiscourse markers in RA, but no study has yet investigated the use of metadiscourse markers in RAs abstracts of applied linguistics.

Data have included screen recordings as well as teacher and student interviews.
