Abstrakt: 

Academic discourse is now generally seen as a purposeful interaction between writers and readers in which the writers try to construct a coherent and credible representation of themselves and their research and to negotiate their relationship with the discourse community by referring to the work of others and by evaluating their views. Previous studies on citation practices in academic writing have concentrated on showing differences in the preferences of academic communities by discipline. This contribution tries to examine the differences in the citation practices in academic English on the basis of an analysis of unpublished undergraduate and graduate theses, while discussing the differences in the choice of reporting verbs as means for expressing evaluation.
