Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this research is to identify the degree of expertise in the use of quotes by students. For this, two corpora (A and B) composed of 30 academic papers written by university students (corpus A=15; corpus B=15) were used in which the use of citations and references was analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively, using the Swales (1990) model, as well as other research (Swales 2014, Hyland 2017, Hugo Rojas et al. 2018 and Carranza y Pérez 2021). Once the main problems were identified, a didactic proposal that implies the explicit teaching / learning of this aspect was designed and empirically validated with the members of corpus B.
