“…Genre-based studies that have focused on CE RA abstracts have shown that usually this specific RA sub-genre includes a Background move, a Purpose move, a Materials and methods move, a Results move, a Conclusion Move, a Literature review or Reference to other studies move, and a Research gap move (Chang & Kuo 2011;Kanoksilapatham 2015;Khaw & Tan 2018).…”

“…Regarding the introduction sub-genre, findings within the field of CE suggest that there are four discipline-specific genre characteristics that the original CaRS model (Swales, 2004) fails to include, namely examples, definitions of terms, and evaluations (Anthony 1999;Chang & Kuo 2011;Khaw & Tan 2017, 2018. More specifically, Anthony (1999) analyzed twelve "Best Paper" software engineering research papers.…”

Genre analysis has offered us valuable insights into the rhetorical organization of different genres. Regarding the research article (RA) genre in engineering, previous move-based works have shown that disciplinary variation is evident, especially across computer engineering (CE) sub-disciplines which often showcase unique rhetorical structures and patterns due to the newness of the field. Using Swales’ seminal move analysis approach (1990) this paper presents a synthesis of move-based works that have explored RA textual structures in CE sub-disciplines. The discipline-specific A-IMRD move/step frameworks and patterns presented in this paper can form the foundation of research-based English for Academic Purposes (EAP) pedagogies and teaching materials tailored to the needs of CE students in academic writing courses.
