In the Balticist congress a joint team of Latvian, Lithuanian and Estonian researchers focused on the contrastive perspective of authorial references in academic texts in Estonian, Latvian, and Lithuanian. The question asked in the report is: What are the linguistic devices used to explicitly present the author in the research results in academic text in Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian? The insights of the study provide a new perspective in the Baltic language comparison, raising the issue of the role of historical factors, persistence or variability of features in a regional and global perspective.
