Where is the establishment of such connections more salient and important? What do you think the function of establishing such connections is? The authors establish connections between their own studies and previously published studies in the Introduction section, Collaborative Writing: Theoretical Bases, Benefits and Concerns, Collaborative Writing with Technology and in Discussion part. But in the Discussion section, they established more important connections because they compared what they found in their own analysis, according to findings from authors analyzed previously. They made such connections in order to complement the researches about the nature of collaborative writing process. 2- What is the purpose of the "material and methods" section? What information is provided in this section? .And to specify what and how the study will be made and after to provide empirical data. 3- What is the importance of empirical data and facts for the achievement of the general objectives of the article? It is also important because their study was made through observation. The authors defined previously what kind of data they wanted to collect and then analyze. 4- Concerning this specific sample article, do you think the data and facts presented were sufficient to convince you of the conclusions the authors have proposed? Why? And they shows statistical data about what they analyzed, it means, evolution of collaborative writing using Web-based word processing tools and what is involved in this process: contributions and benefits using such technologic resource. 5- What is the purpose of the "discussion" section? To make connections between the authors’ study and the previous literature analyzed and “responds to a need in the literature for more research into the nature of the collaborative writing process”. (page 103). They show that the success of collaborative writing depends on some factors inherent in the process and the level of participants.
