To this end, a corpus of 60 research articles from 3 high-rank Nursing and Midwifery and Applied Linguistics journals that were written&nbsp;by Iranian scholars (in local journals) and international writers were&nbsp;selected, and their citation patterns were analysed based on Thompson and&nbsp;Tribble’s frameworks (2001). Then, the Chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests were&nbsp;run to investigate the similarities and differences in the citation patterns in&nbsp;the selected journals from a statistical point of view. Although the&nbsp;corpus-based analysis revealed that the Iranian journal articles had a higher&nbsp;density of citations than international journal articles, the international&nbsp;scholars utilised all citation patterns. The results of this study could be&nbsp;used effectively by EAP teachers, students, and novice scholars to improve the&nbsp;understanding of theoretical and practical dimensions of citation patterns in&nbsp;the fields of medical and humanities sciences.</span></p>
