	abstract     = {The purpose of this article is to analyze the early (natural) scientific genre development in Sweden during the 18thcentury, focusing on the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, and its Transactions, as a discursive community. The Transactions are considered an early example  of  what  we  now  refer  to  as sakprosa but  have  never  been thoroughly  analyzed  regarding  its  genre  specific  characteristics. Bjerkander’s 26 findings on entomology are chosen as material for this study, grounded in genre analysis (Swales 1990, 2004; Bhatia 2004). The results reveal that Bjerkander’s entomological findings evolve into three subgenres. From a genre development perspective, Bjerkander’s texts primarily  reflect  an  establishing  stage  (Gunnarsson  2011),  but  they anticipate a specialized stage in three instances: Bjerkander’s use of the so-called  CARS  model,  his  methodological  awareness,  and  his  use  of references to previous research.},
