“…What is accessible is the argument that researchers decide to capture in their papers. We wanted to draw from argumentation theory to conduct a content analysis, however, all applications of argumentation theory focus on argumentation as a learning devise (Bermejo Luque 2011;Verheij 2005). For this reason, we devised a method to identify the reasons provided to justify causal claims, which we termed analysis of causal argumentation.…”

Understanding the complexity of social-ecological phenomena like climate change, ocean acidification, and biodiversity loss requires interdisciplinary collaboration. However, scholars that engage in interdisciplinary work face the challenge of grasping other disciplines' causal reasoning. Without proper understanding of the presuppositions, theoretical commitments, and justificatory support behind other approaches' causal claims, it is difficult to build systemic representations and to know how well they capture phenomena, which limits the usability both for further research and to inform action.To Francisco León-Medina, Sarah Valdez, and Giangiacomo Bravo for reading my work and helping me improve it.To IAS' students and alumni who were a platform of horizontal learning and made this journey better with your friendship.

Offering one's perspective and justifying it has become a common practice in online text-based communications, just as it is in typical, face-to-face communication.Compared to the face-to-face communications, it can be particularly more challenging for users to understand and evaluate another's perspective in online communications. On the other hand, the availability of the communication record in online communications offers a potential to leverage computational techniques to automatically detect user opinions and rationales. One promising approach to automatically detect the rationales is to detect the common discourse relations in rationale texts. However, no empirical work has been done with regard to which discourse relations are commonly present in the users' rationales in online communications. To fill this gap, we annotated the discourse relations in the text segments that contain the rationales (N 5 527 text segments). These text segments are obtained from five datasets that consist of five online posts and the first 100 comments. We identified 10 discourse relations that are commonly present in this sample. Our finding marks an important contribution to this rationale detection approach. We encourage more empirical work, preferably with a larger sample, to examine the generalizability of our findings.
