The purpose of this paper is to investigate the characteristics of epistemic modality in English research articles. For this study, 200 English research articles written by non-native(Korean) speakers and native speakers were randomly collected and analyzed. The findings were as follows: First, two groups(NNSA and NSA) showed the similar frequency patterns in their use of epistemic modality and ‘modal verbs’ were presented as the most frequently used one in both groups. Second, there were considerable similarities between two groups in the use of epistemic modality based on grammatical categories. Moreover, both groups showed the strong tendency to use ‘modal verbs’. Third, this study revealed that there were no considerable differences between two groups in the use of epistemic modality based on semantic categories and both showed the same preference for ‘possibility’. Some directions of further studies are discussed and implications are provided
