Citation studies. Epistemology. Theories of citation. Normative theory. Constructivist theory.Abstract
This paper presents the epistemological demarcations that configure the citation studies in the contemporaneity. It is assumed that the theories of the existing citations, widely discussed, are antagonistic and complementary. Its main purpose is to establish the epistemological basis of normative and constructivist theories within the scope of citation studies. It presents and discusses the elements that make up the epistemological matrices of normative and constructivist theories in light of contributions in the specialized literature. It concludes that the theories answer the existing problems partially, necessiting to seek useful investigative approaches with other fields and domains.
