Abstract
Citation studies in research articles (RAs) have been widely conducted
worldwide, but such studies rarely compared English and Indonesian RAs,
especially within the history discipline. Therefore, the researchers
intended to analyze and compare citations in English and Indonesian
research article introductions (RAIs) in the history discipline using a genre
approach for the analysis and a descriptive qualitative approach for the
reports. In this regard, 30 RAIs from both data sets were analyzed using
two frameworks: one is to identify citation techniques, and the other is to
analyze citation types. The results revealed that English and Indonesian
authors used descriptions more than other techniques when citing sources.
However, English authors employed this technique more than Indonesian authors. In addition, both English and Indonesian authors used a non-integral type more frequently than the integral counterpart, but English authors employed this type more frequently than Indonesian authors.
