This study explores how persuasive literature review sections in Economics and Management Journals can be developed by using corpus data analysis. Although the importance of the critical review for developing a literature review section in research articles has been recognized, few studies precisely investigate the structure of these research genres. This study conducts a quantitative investigation of 100 representative research papers in social science by comparing the FBROWN and FLOB as reference corpuses. Keyword word analyses are introduced to examine relevant expressions in the research articles. The results indicate that the specific use of reporting verbs in a literature review has a significant effect on guiding readers in academic fields.
