Abstract The present research aims to investigate move structure of introduction sections in selected research articles from annual research journal published by the Myanmar Academy of Arts and Science by means of Swales (1990) CARS model. The objectives are to explore the move structures that establish a territory, that establish a niche and that occupy a niche in the research article introductions. The present research focuses on Introduction sections of 50 selected research articles, 25 each from Arts and Science disciplines, from the Journal of the Myanmar Academy of Arts and Science, Volume XI, No. 1 to 10, published in 2013. For the analysis, CARS model of moves by Swales (1990) has been applied. The findings highlight that the research articles introduction from both Arts and Science disciplines show limited application of move structure claimed by Swales. Consequently, the findings shed light on the way researchers from Myanmar context structure the introduction section; which demand either to change or adapt to standard structure proposed and applied by creditable scholars and researchers. Accordingly, the present research will also highlight ways to structure research articles introduction to come up to international knowledge sharing community and to avoid problematic linguistic features.
