Purpose. This article explores citing and referencing systems in Social Sciences and Medicine articles from different theoretical and practical perspectives, considering bibliographic references as a facet of descriptive representation. Methodology. The analysis of citing and referencing elements (i.e. bibliographic references, mentions, quotations, and respective in-text reference pointers) identified citing and referencing habits within disciplines under consideration and errors occurring over the long term as stated by previous studies now expanded. Future expected trends of information retrieval from bibliographic metadata was gathered by approaching these referencing elements from the FRBR Entities concepts. Findings. Reference styles do not fully accomplish with their role of guiding authors and publishers on providing concise and well-structured bibliographic metadata within bibliographic references. Trends on representative description revision suggest a predicted distancing on the ways information is approached by bibliographic references and bibliographic catalogs adopting FRBR concepts, including the description levels adopted by each of them under the perspective of the FRBR Entities concept. Limitations. This study was based on a subset of Medicine and Social Sciences articles published in 2019 and, therefore, it may not be taken as a final and broad coverage. Future studies expanding these approaches to other disciplines and chronological periods are encouraged. Originality. By approaching citing and referencing issues as descriptive representation's facets, findings on this study may encourage further studies that will support Information Science and Computer Science on providing tools to become bibliographic metadata description simpler, better structured and more efficient facing the revision of descriptive representation actually in progress.

2019年医学与社会科学期刊引用引用习惯

目的。本文从不同的理论和实践角度探讨了社会科学和医学文章中的引用和引用系统，将参考书目作为描述性表示的一个方面。方法。对引用和引用元素（即参考书目、提及、引文和相应的文本内引用指针）的分析确定了所考虑学科内的引用和引用习惯以及以前研究指出的长期发生的错误现在扩大了。通过接近 FRBR 实体概念中的这些参考元素，收集了从书目元数据检索信息的未来预期趋势。发现。参考文献样式并没有完全发挥其指导作者和出版商在书目参考文献中提供简洁且结构良好的书目元数据的作用。代表性描述修订的趋势表明，采用 FRBR 概念的书目参考和书目目录处理信息的方式存在预测距离，包括它们各自在 FRBR 实体概念的角度下采用的描述级别。限制。这项研究基于 2019 年发表的医学和社会科学文章的一个子集，因此，它可能不会被视为最终和广泛的覆盖范围。鼓励未来的研究将这些方法扩展到其他学科和时间周期。独创性。
