Abstract :
According to Thomas Kuhn´s theory of scientific paradigm, progress of science owns certain structure models, so there should be the models of progress of science shown in scientific texts. The paper extracts the models as the tuple including knowledge object, topic terms, questions resulted from the topic and the answers. The model also can be expressed as the tuple including knowledge object, permutation of the topic terms and the terms asserting logic value and knowledge dimensions. This argues that progress of science can be analyzed by the models based on scientific text features, as a results, the progress of science in a discipline can be treated as propositions generating but keeping the core or basic propositions(normal science), or as propositions generating beyond or breaking through the core or basic propositions(science revolution).
