The key finding has been that learners use a range of discourse markers, some of which are more popularly used than most others. There are lots of DMs (adding), the writers used only some of them when writing the abstracts. Some words were determined as DMs, but the functions were not DMs because they were not at the initial position. "In addition" markers were the most commonly used, abided by "Furthermore" markers. Analysis of the papers suggests guiding results for further research on developing abstracts writing quality.
