Authorial stance is an important aspect in academic texts in academic texts such as research articles (RAs); that is to show the attitude of authors toward the information cited in a reference in ...order to establish an argument. The objective of this research was to investigate the authorial stances in English RA introductions written by Indonesia authors in the field of sciences (i.e. Biology, Physic and Chemistry). This research employed a descriptive qualitative method. Thirty English research article introductions were included in the corpus in this study. The results show that two authorial stances: neutral and positive stances are found in the texts but no critical stance is used in the corpus of this research. Also, four types of authorial stance (i.e., hedges, booster, attitudinal markers, and self- mention) are used in the RA introductions and the devices in each type of authorial stance are nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives and modals. Self-mentions found in this research are subjective pronoun, common noun and possessive adjectives. It can be concluded that Indonesian authors in the field of sciences already use similar types of authorial stances in their English RA introductions to those of international authors writing in English.

The publication rate of Indonesian academics in reputable international journals is far below those of neighbouring countries. This is because Indonesian academics are not familiar with the ...appropriate rhetorical style of English research articles although they can write academic texts in English reasonably well. This study investigated the rhetorical problems experienced by Indonesian lecturers in social sciences and humanities when writing research articles for international journals. In this study, all sections (abstract, introduction, methods, results and discussion) of research article drafts written by Indonesian academics were analysed based on their rhetorical styles following the models suggested by Swales (1990, 2004), Swales and Feak (2009), Lim (2006), and Peacock (2011). The results show that Indonesian authors have significant rhetorical problems in writing the introduction, results and discussion sections but few problems with writing abstracts and the methods section. The majority of these academics fail to write a convincingly argumentative introduction and discussion because they either do not use relevant references at all or they use them in improper ways. The study concludes that Indonesian authors must learn the ideal rhetorical styles of research article introductions and discussions, especially the use of references, in order to be accepted in international journals.
The author’s style in citing prior knowledge is an essential element determining the quality of an academic writing, such as thesis, dissertation, essay and journal article. The purpose of this ...study is to investigate the types and functions of citation in Indonesian article introductions written by Indonesian writers in multiple disciplines published in Indonesian research journals mainly by university based publishers. As many as 160 article introductions in education, social sciences and humanities, science and technology and health and medical sciences (i.e., forty articles in each discipline) were analyzed on their citation types and functions in the introduction section of the articles using genre-based analisys method. The results show that in terms of the use of citation types, the Indonesian article introductions are similar to those in English articles but not in terms of the use of citation function. Unlike in English journal articles, the main functions of citation in Indonesian article introductions are to support the importance of the research topic, to justify the research problem, and to present positive justification towards the information in the cited references.
