Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify the dimensions of the innovative university in order to provide a model in Islamic Azad universities, East Azerbaijan. This research regarding its purpose was an applied one, which was carried out using an exploratory mixed methods approach. Methodology: In the qualitative section the Delphi method and in quantitative section descriptive method was used. The statistical populations of this study, in the qualitative section of the study were the exports who were aware of the subject and in the quantitative section were faculty members of Islamic Azad University of East Azerbaijan(n=900). In the qualitative section, the purposeful sampling method, considering the saturation law (n=12) was used and in the quantitative section, using random stratified sampling method, based on the scientific rank of faculty members and based on the Cochran formula, 270 subjects were selected as the statistical sample. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire of the dimensions of the innovative university. The reliability of the questionnaire was quantitatively determined using Cronbach's alpha method (0.891) and composite reliability (0/688). Exploratory factor analysis using SPSS software was used to analyze the data and validation used to Smart PLS. Findings: Also, the results showed that the endogenous variable (Innovative University) has the ability to explain the changes exogenous variable (the five structural, strategic, research structural, environmental and educational pedagogical dimensions).Conclusion: The overall value of the model was also confirmed using the GOF= (0/396) standard.

This study investigates how L1 Chinese scholars in hard science disciplines use metadiscourse in their English academic writing, by comparing the deployment of metadiscoursal resources written by L1 Chinese and L1 English scholars. Hyland’s (2005) interpersonal model of metadiscourse was adopted for the analysis. We found that L1 Chinese scholars used less metadiscoursal resources than L1 English scholars on the whole. In the two dimensions of interaction, L1 Chinese scholars made more use of interactive devices, while L1 English scholars used more interactional items. This reflects that L1 Chinese scholars made greater efforts to guide the readers through their papers, and L1 English scholars are more concerned with creating author identity and engaging their readers. The t-tests confirmed that L1 Chinese scholars used significantly more code glosses in interactive metadiscourse and less self-mentions in interactional metadiscourse. An in-depth analysis reveals two functions of code glosses and five functions of self-mentions in RA abstracts.
