Automatic summaries are often subject to several criticisms (e.g., lack of cohesion and coherence). In this paper, we propose an approach that uses coherent Summary-Schemas (templates) conceived from the rhetorical structure of scientific papers including their abstracts. The Summary-Schemas embed rhetorical roles specified by signatures (sets of positional, structural, linguistic and thematic features) that guide the search for appropriate sentences in the source text.
