Today we will be comparing and contrasting the types of genre between Research articles. This will be between a scientific research paper, and one done so in humanities. The Scientific research paper comes from a random science paper generator website and the humanities articles come from the library's vast source of E-journals.  The reason I chose to compare these two articles is to see some similarities in the genre of research papers have and what are the differences that define them and set them apart.

        Out of the massive amounts of articles found in the libraries databases I decided to just randomly pick the one that first caught my attention with its title. The one I came across was called "Attitudes to school life: their influence and their effects on achievement and leaving School" Its content is vastly different from the article found on SCIgen. What is interesting to point out is that it does have some similarities to the other article. First and for most, the most obvious detail is that this research report is specifically towards a set crowd of higher education faculty such as Professors, grad students looking for information that correlates with their thesis; or a school superintendent that is interested in finding out more between the correlation of students and their feelings towards the education system they are in. These articles are similar in the way that they both present a summary at the start of their article to give the reader a better understanding on the topics that will be said in the paper. Their tone throughout these articles are the same, direct and informative as they should be because the reader will want the information given to them as quickly and effectively as possible. These articles also share an introduction which basically sets up the scene for the reader on what the research is being used for and what it correlates to in our world today. As you read further on the way sections are divided are similar, with a title explaining the main information that will be given dividing the paragraphs, this too is done in the Scientific articles. The other similarity between these two research articles are that they both use data to back up their statements and work done on their respective topics.

           As we have seen before, The SCIgen research  turns up to be about "The influence of mobile methodologies on artificial intelligence"  I  may not know the exact contents and meaning behind the information in this article, but I do know that it is a scientific research paper by it conventions and rhetorical features. We know this by quickly looking over its table of contents, its title page and how its sub sections are divided when it presents the information on the topic. the information given is concise and direct, establishing to the readers whether it be computer engineers or someone in the medical field to understand the information provided. Its tone and styles are also very formal and informative set to the field of scholars of its topic. We cannot also forget that both these articles have conclusions that are roughly the same in character, defining and putting a finishing touch to the topics that were mentioned throughout their articles.

            There are some differences between these two research articles though, one of these is that the Humanities Scholarly article uses data more in the way of charts and statistics on different subject relating to its topic rather than using plot graphs with various numerations as are seen in the Scientific article. Another thing you will notice is that the Humanities article gives a page dedicated to an appendix on the information that it had stated throughout the article something that is not seen into he scientific one. This is to give the reader the background info on what was used and said by the data that was collected in this article which is something the generated article did not give  probably due to the fact that it was not completely specified since it was not published so there was not a lot of emphasis on the data that was shared in that article.
