The importance of correct citation for the development and deepening of scholarly knowledge is evident. At the same time, considering citation in assessing the quality level of a particular paper or journal can be treated differently due to citation practices, thus requiring a systematic analysis, and tracking of their development. The purpose of this article is to present the architecture of the citation landscape current state and comment on steps to avoid common pitfalls in the citation process. The authors have analyzed the most significant foreign studies on the topic, highlighted the main key aspects of the modern citation culture and new trends that can change the citation practice. A typology of citation is offered, the most prominent theories of citing authors behavior are commented, strategies of citing authors behavior and factors that determine the characteristics of citation are described, parameters of high-quality citation are analyzed, and recommendations for the implementation of successful strategies for citing authors behavior are given. The authors have also highlighted new trends in the context of citation (review of the citation context, the phenomenon of unwanted citation) that can significantly transform the citation practice. Understanding the landscape of modern citation culture by citing authors is fundamentally capable of optimizing citation standards, achieving maximum transparency and validity of the scholarly communication context.

Значимость корректного цитирования для развития и углубления научного знания не нуждается в доказательстве. Вместе с тем статус цитирования в оценке качественного уровня конкретной статьи или журнала имеет различные прочтения, обусловленные практиками цитирования, что требует систематического анализа и отслеживания их трансформации и контуров. Цель данной статьи – представить архитектуру текущего состояния ландшафта цитирования и прокомментировать шаги, позволяющие избежать типичных ошибок в процессе цитирования. Авторами были проанализированы наиболее значимые зарубежные исследования по теме, выделены основные ключевые аспекты современной культуры цитирования и новые тенденции, способные изменить практику цитирования. Приведена типология цитирования, прокомментированы получившие наибольшее распространение теории поведения цитирующих авторов, описаны стратегии поведения цитирующих авторов и факторы, обусловливающие характеристики цитирования, проанализированы параметры качественного цитирования, даны рекомендации по реализации успешных стратегий поведения цитирующих авторов. Авторы осветили и новые тенденции в контексте цитирования (обзор контекста цитирования, феномен нежелательного цитирования), которые способны значительным образом трансформировать практику цитирования. Понимание цитирующими авторами ландшафта современной культуры цитирования способно принципиальным образом оптимизировать стандарты цитирования, добиться максимальной прозрачности и обоснованности контекста научной коммуникации.
