The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project is the opportunity to enhance inexperienced research writers? written science communication by using a self-paced, web-based research writing software that provides on demand instruction, practice, and feedback throughout the writing process. If successfully commercialized, the technology can transform how both educational and professional spheres approach the research writing process and understand disciplinary writing conventions. Hence, the technology can contribute to an increase in the research competitiveness of individual research programs. In addition, the availability of state-of-the-art writing resources will help promote science by enhancing the public dissemination of research results. Participation in the NSF I-Corps program also offers a great opportunity for graduate students to develop skills in entrepreneurship and innovation, which may lead to a start-up venture that can increase the economic competitiveness of the state. This I-Corps project investigates the commercial potential of the technology, which leads users through a series of interactive, instructional videos that help users become critical readers of how language is used in discipline-specific, research writing in order to become better research writers. Users integrate their new knowledge of language use into practice tools derived from the field of applied linguistics. These tools help users analyze and discover language use patterns that are used to effectively structure a scientific argument. Automated feedback then guides users toward more purposeful analysis of writing. Studies have demonstrated that these tools can heighten user?s awareness of how to construct an original research argument while increasing their self-efficacy in becoming successful published research writers. Furthermore, the tools have helped users become more independent writers, requiring users to seek less guidance about writing from research mentors who need the extra time to focus on their own research agendas.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这个i-Corps项目的更广泛的影响/商业潜力是提高缺乏经验的研究作者的机会吗？通过使用自定进度的、基于网络的研究写作软件进行书面科学交流，该软件在整个写作过程中按需提供指导、练习和反馈。如果成功商业化，这项技术可以改变教育和专业领域处理研究写作过程的方式，并理解学科写作惯例。因此，这项技术可以帮助提高单个研究项目的研究竞争力。此外，最先进的写作资源的可获得性将通过加强研究成果的公开传播来促进科学。参加NSF i-Corps项目也为研究生提供了一个发展创业和创新技能的绝佳机会，这可能会导致一家初创企业，从而增加该州的经济竞争力。这个i-Corps项目调查了这项技术的商业潜力，它引导用户通过一系列互动的教学视频，帮助用户成为关键读者，了解如何在特定学科的研究写作中使用语言，以便成为更好的研究作者。用户将他们新的语言使用知识整合到应用语言学领域的实践工具中。这些工具帮助用户分析和发现用于有效构建科学论证的语言使用模式。然后，自动反馈会引导用户对写作进行更有目的的分析。研究表明，这些工具可以提高用户S对如何构建原创研究论点的意识，同时提高他们成为成功的已发表研究作者的自我效能感。此外，这些工具帮助用户成为更独立的作家，要求用户减少从需要额外时间专注于自己的研究议程的研究导师那里寻求写作指导。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
