| Abstract: | The views of psychology journal editors and editorial advisory board members were sought on the nature and functions of citation. Information was gathered using an 18 item questionnaire. The feeling emerged that citation was a skill which authors acquired osmotically. Considerable support was given to the idea that editors and referees could play a more positive role in establishing and encouraging consistency in authors' citation practices. Where appropriate, replies have been interpreted in the light of prevailing theory. Practical reasons for further research in this area are also considered. |
