Author’s Objective: 1) Reader understands specific scientific project2) Reader convinced the research is important Convince Project is: - novel
- meaningful
- valid
Scientific Academic Writing
Analyze research article general IMRD structure- use of structure & language- apply concepts in writing(Swales genre analysis of academic writing)
- Introduce topic of research (significance of field; general background information)- Cite HIGHLY relevant background research- Indicate a Need – the Unknown information (3 kinds) - extending previous findings - information gap - states that other research is wrong (questions theory) or other research requires some qualification- State purpose of study (take care of the Need – 3 ways) - state purpose, hypothesis OR specific research aims - introduce key method to accomplish purpose - state findings that resulted
Introduction’s Purpose (why do research)
Novelty
Knowledge to Help Read Science (original article)
Results’ Purpose (what was found)- describe outcomes of research project- some conclusion ok in describing and summarizing findings
Methods’ Purpose (what was done)- describe experimental procedures (must be clear so others may repeat)
Knowledge to Help Read Science (original article)
Validity
Discussion’s Structure (typical segments)
- State/Summarize KEY results- Summarizing secondary results- Use previous research to support findings- Explain unexpected findings (explain contradictions with previous research) - Indicate study’s limitations- Provide conclusion, recommendations for future research and/or ‘benefits’ of study

for ANY form of Communication(presentation & writing)
TeacherPreparation
Scientific Academic Communication
Data is NOT the story
Story must explain (reader relevance)- future application for Reader (typically understanding)
Humans use ‘stories’ all the time- organize information- know how to behave- explain GENERAL phenomena (these are science stories)
How to develop reader appropriate story?
Storyboarding- organizes details: ALL events in story must be connected
draw out research storyuse arrows (focus one at a time) to indicate events
if describe in words “and” “then” good indicators of separate events
Takes practice; Learning to think scientifically
- very typical to explain a new mechanism of action pathway in a biological system
Research Story: Provides Content Framework
Type 1:
Final OutcomeEvent 2Initial stage Event 1
- Background Story (in gray) indicates the known info, so UNKNOWN info can be highlighted
(put research purpose in context - rationale)- Research Story (in green) is what is new
Teaching Duties (initial offering option)
Time Process Teacher in charge
Wk 1 Analyze Model Paper- important concepts- general purpose of each major section (IMRD)
EMI
Wk 2 Use Model Paper for example material- demonstrate how Central Theme is introduced- paragraph structure- section structure to develop an idea (genre analysis)
ESP
Wk 3 Use Model Paper for example material- demonstrate how to present scientific article- demonstrate scientific storytelling
ESP
Wk 4+ Students give presentation of an article they selected EMI&ESPevaluate
Students prepare to write summary paragraph based on their selected article- examine how to select appropriate Central Theme for paragraph- assess necessary details to support/explain Central Theme- demonstrate developing cohesion through linking phrases (language
examples from Model and Student-Selected articles)

Structure
Extra Story Framework types:- alter phenomena (ie. heal/prevent disease)- examine associations (relationship strengths)- multiple responses to condition
Event 3’Event 2’
Event 3Event 2
Intervention
0 Event 1
- explain how a treatment intervention (eg. a drug) can change a system through an altered mechanism of action pathway in a system (typically biological)
Research Story: Provides Content Framework
Type 2:- Background Story (in gray) indicates the known info,
so UNKNOWN info can be highlighted (put research purpose in context - rationale)- Research Story (in green) is what is new
Final OutcomeInitial stage
Factor DFactor C
Factor BFactor A
- explain how particular factors are positively (green) and negatively (red) associated with a particular singular outcome – common in clinical sciences
Research Story: Provides Content Framework
Type 3:- Background Story (in gray) indicates the known info,
so UNKNOWN info can be highlighted (put research purpose in context - rationale)- Research Story (in green & red) is what is new
Outcome 1
Initial stage
- a pattern of >1 outcome with each outcome measured independently; the outcomes are constituent elements of an overall condition
- may include single factor that could alter outcomes
Research Story: Provides Content Framework
Type 4:- Background Story (in gray) indicates the known info,
so UNKNOWN info can be highlighted (put research purpose in context - rationale)- Research Story (in green) is what is new
Outcome 3
