Hi Rebecca
I recommend Ken Hyland's work on academic discourse. He's done some really 
interesting work looking at the strategies involved in different genres of 
academic writing in different disciplines. Also since he only investigates 
published writers, I think you can say that he is investigating mastery.
I have provided you with 2 references here.
