Summary/Abstract: The present paper investigates the pattern of citation practices in professional communication. The research is based on a corpus of Romanian texts on Economics. Quantitative data indicate a preference for the non-integral type of quotation, interpreted as placing more emphasis on the data than on the person of the authors cited. The existence of combined forms (footnotes and author/date) seems to indicate that the young researchers are not aware of the difference and may not be very confident in using either according to generally accepted practices in the academia.
