Abstract

The article aims to study the presence/absence of references (interpositional auxiliary components) in the structure of a multi-topic scientific discourse. Today, the problem of compliance with the rules of academic integrity, which is caused by free access to a large amount of information and the often dishonesty of researchers, has become particularly noticeable. That is why it became necessary to control the presence of references to quotations and the author's ideas and the need to prepare them correctly. The purpose of the article is to analyze the presence of quotations as the main type of a reported speech in a scientific style, and to define the use of dominant methods of designing references to the sources. The goal determined the following task: to group randomly selected articles on various topics for analysis; to analyze the presence/absence of references in the texts; to characterize the methods of formatting the list of references; find out the productivity of different types of references; formulate conclusions and outline the research perspective. The article uses descriptive, comparative methods of contextual analysis and reception of quantitative calculations. The research material became 24 scientific articles, randomly selected from collections of scientific works published on the boundary of 2020 s, and conditionally divided into six blocks: "human sciences"; "sciences about the state"; "education sciences"; "sciences of nature"; "social sciences"; "technical sciences". It was found that the most productive model, according to which references to the paper of a certain author is formed in multidisciplinary scientific articles, is the construction «number of the work in the list of used literature» (261 fixations). It must be said that the construction can be seen in all blocks of research, and is more often traced in works on the technical sciences, state and social, episodically - in articles on the humanities.
