Research paper example In this example you will see the headings FACT, ILLUSTRATION, EXTENSION. You do not need to put these in your paper. I only use them to show you the different sections. The chunking strategy and the use of orienting phrases, such as, “as an analogy” and “an extension of this idea” should alert the reader to the different types of information presented. FACT (paraphrase) According to [1] a new technology based on 3-D printing may help doctors improve the procedure for skin grafts on burn victims. A team of U of T engineers has developed a process that uses an ink-jet-like technology to print human skin. [1] ILLUSTRATION (analogy) As an analogy the new technology works like an ink-jet printer. The skin generator technology uses reservoirs of live cells (rather than ink) that are sprayed onto a matrix (like paper in a normal printer) to form a wet fabric that is then solidified into a gel by a salt solution. This gel-fabric is then laid over the wound to provide protection and, eventually, a new layer of skin. EXTENSION (other use in another area) This technology would be useful in other fields where materials had to be made immediately. If for instance polymer fabrics could be generated on a small scale for use as patches for sports domes, sailboats, aircraft or as filters for water in disaster situations the world would be a better place.
