Task 9 – Pages 256 - 257
 * Unit 8: Constructing a research paper II**

Below is a review that uses only citation pattern I. As you can see, using the same structure all the time can cause the reader to lose interest. Rewrite the passage so that it has more variety. Your version will probably be shorter than the original –another advantage!

//The origins of the First Scientific Articles// //The first scientific journal has been started in London in 1665. Obviously, there have been no direct models to build on the first scientific articles, and several scholars have been discussed possible influences. Ard (1983) and Valle (2000) have been suggested that the first articles developed from the scholarly letters that scientist were accustomed to sending to each other. Sutherland (1986) has been showed that early articles were also influenced by newspaper reports of that time. Pardis (1987) has been described the influence of the philosophical essay. Shapin (1984)has been claimed that the scientific books of Robert Boyle were another model. Finally, Bazerman (1988, 1997) has been argued that discussion among the scientists themselves made its own contribution to the emergence of the scientific article.//
