Writing a literature review requires highly sophisticated academic literacies. Many postgraduate students find this genre a challenge. While there is a growing awareness of the need for explicit pedagogy to support students writing this genre, many pedagogical interventions fail to move beyond a focus on citations as a stylistic convention or as a way of avoiding plagiarism. What is missing is a pedagogy that relates citing to the more complex, fluid conceptual and ontological practices that are implicit in academic contexts. The purpose of this paper is to explore the citation patterns, complexity and discursive practices in master’s students’ literature reviews, and to inform pedagogy.

研究生文献综述的引文实践

撰写文学评论需要高度复杂的学术素养。许多研究生发现这种类型是一个挑战。虽然人们越来越意识到需要明确的教学法来支持学生写作这种体裁，但许多教学干预未能超越将引文作为一种文体惯例或避免抄袭的一种方式。缺少的是一种将引用与隐含在学术环境中的更复杂、流动的概念和本体论实践联系起来的教学法。本文的目的是探索硕士生文献评论中的引用模式、复杂性和话语实践，并为教学法提供信息。
