Abstract This article scrutinizes a schematic analysis of integrated Literature Review (LR) sections drawn from Research Articles (RAs) across two disciplines. The analysis mainly focuses on the schematic structure, namely the constituent moves and steps. The structure of LR in these articles is explored via coding and genre analysis. Manual move analysis is used to identify similarities and differences between these two groups of articles. To this end, 30 published integrated LRs from two disciplines of Neuroscience and Neurology (all published in high indexed journals) are selected randomly. Manual coding procedures are accomplished through two different move models proposed by Fryer (2012) and Nwogu (1997). Both models are composed of 3 Moves with several sub-moves. The results compare and contrast the prototypical move patterns of each discipline. A new model is proposed in this study and the significance of integrated LRs is discussed. This study discusses pedagogical implications for the practitioners in ESP and EAP fields. The move structures proposed in this study may help students and novice writers be better able to deal with the structuring difficulties they face in writing LRs. Furthermore, the findings of this article may assist novice researchers and article writers to cope with the hardships of high indexed journal submission.

According to all models proposed by researchers, a considerable number of them is related to isolated sections of written genres such as abstracts, introductions, literature reviews, methods, results and discussion, and conclusions mainly in research articles and theses (e.
g. Basturkmen, 2012; Bunton, 2002; Crookes 1986; Hopkins & Dudley-Evans 1988; Hsiao & Yu, 2012; Jian, 2010; Kanoksilapatham, 2005; Kwan, 2006; Pho, 2008; Salager-Meyer, 1992; Swales 1984, 1990, 2004; Swales & Najjar 1987).
On the other hand, other researchers have proposed models to analyze the move structure holistically (Skelton, 1994; Gosden, 1992; Nwogu, 1997; Fryer, 2012) Even though numerous studies have been conducted on all sections as the most important parts, the lack of studies on the bulkiest section, namely Literature Review, requires more consideration.
In line with the aims of all discussed models for schematic and rhetorical analysis, and the importance of considering the discourse communities and their specific characteristics, Nwogu (1997) applied Swale's CARS model to analyze medical research article introductions.
Fryer's (2012) move model for Medical RA Introductions Fryer (2012) Introduction To present the study in relation to previous research 1) Presentation of study background a) established knowledge 2) Identification of gap(s) in existing research a) lack of data (or questionable data) in specific area related to established field; b) reason for need to fill gap 3) Statement of research purpose a) hypothesis/objective; b) brief description of material/methodology Jian (2010) has proposed his own model to clarify the move structure of Literature Review sections in Research Articles.
