| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The 8 million word Specialised Corpus of Civil Engineering Research Articles (SCCERA) is now complete and available online to staff and students in the Department of Civil Engineering, University of Tokyo, for corpus queries. The corpus has been promoted within the department through staff meetings and in the academic writing courses provided for post-graduate students. An introductory guide, entitled 'An introduction to SCCERA', explaining how the specialised corpus was constructed and what information it can provide, was produced and distributed within the department. The corpus has also been promoted internationally at conferences in the UK and USA and two research papers have been produced to further disseminate information to the civil engineering research community.
