The Kyoritsu Journal of International Studies

41

We examined the unique characteristics of research abstracts in medicine and nursing by reviewing 200 abstracts from four distinguished journals. The findings revealed significant differences not only across academic fields but also within the same discipline. These insights are particularly beneficial for English language learners and their instructors, especially those drafting their initial academic articles in English in the field of nursing.
