Scientific papers also follow a global structure, authors of the research or scientific paper have a scientific objective , create methods to reach the goal ,do comparative study of prior works on the topic and have various solutions substantiating the scientific goal. Similar to argumentation structure, scientific paper tries to make a knowledge claim.

Argumentation structure provides a way to arrange globally related sentences in a discourse. For example in persuasive essays people use claims and supporting premises.

The computational analysis of people’s arguments is called argument mining.

Algorithms for discovering argumentation structure often include classifiers for identifying claims, premises, or non-argumentation, together with relation classifiers for deciding if two spans have the SUPPORT, ATTACK, or neither relation.
