科学论文采用标准的功能单位来限制论证结构。严重的空间限制要求每一段和插图都有助于建立论文的主张。哲学测试和确认模型应该考虑到每个段落，表格和插图。假设演绎模型、贝叶斯归纳模型和最佳解释推理模型则不然，它们混淆了论文的逻辑。对这篇板块构造学基础论文的微观分析揭示了一种在科学中司空见惯、但被标准哲学解释所忽视的论证结构，这种结构不能被视为纯粹的修辞修饰。带有插图的论文通常会显示出与正文不同的第二种论证结构。适当的测试和确认分析的限制。
Scientific articles exemplify standard functional units constraining argumentative structures. Severe space limitations demand every paragraph and illustration contribute to establishing the paper's claims. Philosophical testing and confirmation models should take into account each paragraph, table, and illustration. Hypothetico-Deductive, Bayesian inductive, and Inference-to-the-Best-Explanation models do not, garbling the logic of papers. Micro-analysis of the fundamental paper in plate tectonics reveals an argumentative structure commonplace in science but ignored by standard philosophical accounts that cannot be dismissed as mere rhetorical embellishment. Papers with illustrations often display a second argumentative structure differing from the text's. Constraints on adequate testing and confirmation analyses are adduced.
