Integration of the new, the old and the precedent knowledge is determined by the construction of a universal scientific text. New knowledge, verbalized on the text  plane is a detailed, compositional voice structure, representing the substantive content of the resulting knowledge. Verbalized new knowledge is the semantic core of all the text in its main phases - the problems, ideas, hypotheses, evidence, conclusion.
The old knowledge arises at the intersection of two contexts - "own" and "foreign". The old knowledge demonstrates the history of the problem, solutions to scientific problems, expresses the connection with the previous concepts, the author explicates belonging to this or that scientific school, represents the utterance. Types of textual representation of the old knowledge are defined by cognitive and communicative functions. Verbal markers of the old knowledge introduction are verbs of speech and thought for another's speech.

The precedent knowledge can be considered as one of the mechanisms of formation and preservation of scientific tradition. These are not just signs of entire texts, which are equivalent in meaning and significant personal marks, as indicated by anthroponomy contained therein. The emergence of case contexts in scientific publications testifies anthropomorphization and personification of science, i.e., scientist's name - the subject of a precedent - at some point begins to identify with one’s concept, it is included in the "golden fund" of science and becomes a sign of scientific knowledge. In epistemological terms precedent is a typical compression technique of the old knowledge with the purpose of its preservation, compression and further scientific accumulation.
