Entry Title: Organizing the Elements of a TREAT Paragraph Examine the mixed up parts of a TREAT paragraph below (in blue).

In the Do Now section of your class notebook, cut and paste the parts in what you believe might be the right order into a complete paragraph according to TREAT: Topic - Reason - Evidence - Analysis - Transition Out __________________________________________________ Overall, replicating, and thus collectively and publicly validating, the integrity of published work is often difficult and some still oppose the idea. According to the article, Data Rules, by Janet Jacaruso, the broader scientific community is moving strongly in the direction of participating in, or requiring some form of, data sharing.

This is because the data sharing is vital for scientific research.

For example, recipients of grants from the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health now are required to make their data available to other scholars upon publication, or within a year of the end of their grant. This proves that substantial progress is being made in the area of validating and publishing scientific findings.
