KAIRION: TOWARDS A TECHNOLOGY-BASED
PEDAGOGY OF SOURCE USE PRACTICE
|
||
Research literature artifacts are not autonomous constructs, but elements of rhetorical processes embedded in specific times and places (Bazerman, 1988; Geisler, 1994; Prior, 1998). Specifically for academic citation practices, Cronin (1984) and Cozzens (1989) argued for a rhetorical perspective of scientific attribution, focusing on the persuasive and performative nature of the practice. This paper reports on the results of textual analyses and discourse-based interviews with 16 researchers from four different disciplines, to argue that source use practices are deeply embedded in rhetorical purpose. Based on this research, the development of a computer-based visualization framework for source use, Kairion, aimed at supporting this understanding of academic practices will be presented. |
