Abstract
A data paper is one of the important article types in academic communication. Data papers focus on the description of data resources, and their main purpose is to make data resources play a greater academic value. Data papers involve not only natural sciences but also social sciences. Academic articles, including data papers, have a unique genre form, which needs to be stated through a certain structural model. Nowadays, with the information explosion and the acceleration of knowledge updating, the effective structure model can not only quickly display the relevant information in the data paper, but also make the data paper level clear and logical. Through the collation and analysis of the data papers, this paper refines two kinds of structural patterns and then explains the writing points of their main constituent elements. This paper has a certain reference value for the writing of data papers.
