  In general, the development of written academic discourse and the acquisition of English, especially for academic purposes, has increased the study of language and communication styles that researchers and students must master in order to adequately socialize in a research environment. This study investigated the use of meta-discourse elements by Native and Iranian writers using 20 sports management research papers (10 English speakers and 10 Iranian authors). We sought to check if the use of meta-discourse elements is different. To this end, Hyland's (2005) model of metadiscourse is used as an analytical framework for identifying the properties of metadiscourse elements. The results of the independent t-test showed that there are no significant differences in the overall use of metadiscourses between English and Iranian writers. The results of the research can lay a solid foundation for the development of teaching materials. Traditional academic writing requires researchers to adopt an objective and personal style when reporting research Manuscript profile
