TL;DR: The authors studied how experienced writers use rhetorical steps and linguistic choices to establish research niches in the introductory sections of high impact management research papers, revealing how "indicating a gap" and "adding to what is known" are strategically deployed by writers using a wide spectrum of persuasive communicative resources and linguistic mechanisms aimed at downplaying the significance of past research and foregrounding the newness of their studies.
