Abstract:
In this paper, we consider sentences that contain multiple in-text references (MIR) and their position in the rhetorical structure of articles. We carry out the analysis of MIR in a large-scale dataset of about 80,000 research articles published by the Public Library of Science in 7 journals. We analyze two major characteristics of MIR: their positions in the IMRaD structure of articles and the number of in-text references that make up a MIR in the different journals. We show that MIR are rather frequent in all sections of the rhetorical structure. In the Introduction section, sentences containing MIR account for more than half of the sentences with references. We examine the syntactic patterns that are most used in the contexts of both multiple and single in-text references and show that they are composed, for the most part, of noun groups. We point out the specificity of the Methods section in this respect.
摘要:
在本文中,我们考虑包含多个文本引用(MIR)的句子及其在文章修辞结构中的位置。我们在由科学公共图书馆在7种期刊上发表的约80,000篇研究文章的大规模数据集中进行了MIR分析。我们分析了MIR的两个主要特征:它们在文章的IMRaD结构中的位置以及在不同期刊中构成MIR的文本引用数量。我们表明,MIR在修辞结构的所有部分中都相当频繁。在“介绍”部分,包含MIR的句子占引用句子的一半以上。我们研究了在多个和单个文本引用的上下文中最常用的句法模式,并表明它们是由,在大多数情况下,名词组。我们指出了方法部分在这方面的特殊性。
