Why We Need to
Cite Previous Scholars
  and Researchers:

   The 8 Rhetoric Reasons




           Presentation by:
         Wycliff Edwin Tusiime
               Researcher:

Citations are used to recognize
and acknowledge the intellectual
property rights of authors. They
are a matter of ethics and a
defense against plagiarism
(Swales & Freak, 2009).
Citations are used to show respect
to previous to previous scholars.
They recognize the history of the
field by acknowledging previous
achievements
(Swales & Freak, 2009).
Citations are reading guides; they point
the reader to the relevant works
(Swales & Freak, 2009).
Citations project what the writer perceives to be
the relevant work; they establish an intellectual
network (White, 2001)
Citations are used to
create a research space
for the citing author. By
describing what has been
done, citations point the
way to what has not been
done and so prepare a
space for new research
(Swales, 1990)
Citations are used to
demonstrate that the author
qualifies as a member of the
chosen scholarly community;
citations are used to
demonstrate familiarity with
the field (Bavelas, 1978)
Citations are tools
of persuasion; we
use them to give
statements greater
authority
(Gilbert, 1977).
Citations operate as a kind of mutual reward
system. Rather than pay other authors money
for their contributions, writers pay them in
citations (Ravetz, 1971)
Discussion

a) Which of these 8 Rhetoric
   reasons presented
   contribute the least to your
   understanding of citation
   use?
b) What simple, straight
   forward answer would you
   choose from the 8 reasons
   presented and why?
