Six engineering researchers participated in the study by coding texts of full-length papers into moves and steps.
Among the topics treated are establishing criteria for choosing a suitable sample of comparable RA discussions across the two languages, designing a model for annotating the section's moves and steps, creating an accessible computer-assisted coding scheme, achieving good levels of inter-rater reliability, and obtaining validation from expert informants and writers.
The identification of moves and steps was an iterative procedure involving carefully reading the SoP samples and making constant negotiations between the coding scheme and text segments to determine the communicative purposes of functional units.
When coding the SoP samples, one convenient function offered by NVivo 10 is that it is able to display the length ratios of moves and steps within each coded sample.
Table 2 Moves and steps in the coded SoPs Moves Descriptions Move 1: Introduction This move is primarily used by the applicant to get readers' attention or to provide a brief introduction of the SoP's content.
In the present study, functional moves and steps of each SoP sample were coded based on a modified coding scheme developed from previous research (Chiu, 2016; Ding, 2007; Samraj & Monk, 2008).
