- Abstract
Purpose/Thesis: The article studies the types of citations in research articles published in the journal Zagadnienia Informacji Naukowej -- Studia informacyjne (ZIN). Approach/Methods: The study applied a method of analysis of citations, supplemented by a typology of citations established by B. Peritz. The research set consisted of 34 research articles published in ZIN in 2016--2017. The study required a manual identification and categorization of the citations which featured in the set, and correlating their types with the location in the article and the type of the article. Results and conclusions: The results of the study showed significant variations in the distribution of the citations in the article, depending on the type of the article. A major part of the identified citations featured in the state of the art, and in general discussions. The authors studied often referred to other works to establish a general critical consensus regarding the research problems they analysed, to support their own hypotheses, or to suggest directions for further research. More than a half of the articles studied made no citations of methodological character. Originality/Value: The article analyses the functions of the citations in the rhetoric structure of a research article concerned with information science, and offers a methodological critique of the research processes and tools.
