Observations on Citation Practices in Mathematics Education Research. Research Commentary
Leatham, Keith R.
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v46 n3 p253-269 May 2015
The author argues that the field of mathematics education as a whole can and should improve its citation practices. He discusses 4 forms of citation practice and considers how they vary with respect to transparency of voice. He also discusses several ways that citation practices may misrepresent cited authors' ideas. He concludes with suggestions for working toward the improvement of citation practices.
