Abstract: The purpose of this research is to examine RAIs written for industrial engineering (IE) articles from a rhetorical and organizational perspective. We manually annotated the motions and stages based on the framework developed from Swales' (1990, 2004) CARS model and prior research. Forty RAs were selected from the top-class English journals in this academic community. According to the findings, IE RAIs adhere to the CARS model for the three required movements, with minor variations in the particular stages of the third move. Additionally, the results improve the prospects of IE practitioners in editing or composing RAs that adhere to their academic conventions, and they add to the body of knowledge on how to modify the generic CARS model to better equip teachers for research and teaching that is genre-based in academic writing.
