Abstract:
The paper draws together central research on scientific problem solving and
scientific documentation from a number of fields an demonstrates its latent
potential for a general theory of citing. Specifically, two philosophical
works on scientific problem solving facilitate the clarification of how
research traditions work as solution constrainers. The interdisciplinary
field of diffusion research is shown to deal with issues related to the
issue concerning scientists, choice of problems, theories, and methods. A
number of empirical composition studies dealing with the act of citing are
examined and shown to contradict the mentalist assumption that scientific
documentation is an act of private consciousness. The paper concludes with a
preliminary outline of a general theory of citing and suggestions for
further developments.
