Sitasi merupakan bagian penting dalam penulisan akademik karena tidak hanya menunjukkan asal informasi, tetapi juga berperan dalam membangun hubungan antara sumber, klaim, dan argumen penulis. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis fungsi sitasi dalam argumentasi akademik dan menjelaskan bagaimana berbagai fungsi tersebut berhubungan dengan pembangunan argumen. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode integrative literature review. Sebanyak 31 artikel terbitan 2021–2026 diperoleh melalui penelusuran Google Scholar dengan bantuan Publish or Perish dan dianalisis menggunakan analisis isi kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan lima kategori fungsi sitasi, yaitu atribusi, dukungan dan penghubungan klaim, perbandingan dan evaluasi, sintesis sumber, serta posisi penulis. Kelima fungsi tersebut membentuk kerangka hubungan sumber–klaim yang menggambarkan rentang penggunaan sumber dari menunjukkan asal informasi hingga membangun posisi penulis dalam argumentasi. Kategorisasi tersebut tidak bersifat kaku karena satu sitasi dapat menjalankan lebih dari satu fungsi sesuai dengan konteks dan tujuan tulisan. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kualitas sitasi tidak hanya ditentukan oleh ketepatan format atau jumlah referensi, tetapi juga oleh kesesuaian antara sumber, klaim, dan tujuan penggunaannya.
