citation has 8 distinct synonyms spread across 3 of its 6 senses. Each sense below keeps its own list, because a synonym belongs to a meaning and not to a word: swapping one sense's substitute into another sense's sentence is how a thesaurus makes writing worse. WordNet records no antonym for it — antonymy is a relation between word forms rather than concepts, so it is deliberately sparse.
Counts are distinct word forms across every sense. A synonym that appears under three senses is counted once here and shown three times below, under each sense it belongs to.
an official award (as for bravery or service) usually given as formal public statement
(law) the act of citing (as of spoken words or written passages or legal precedents etc.)
a short note recognizing a source of information or of a quoted passage
“the student's essay failed to list several important citations”
a summons that commands the appearance of a party at a proceeding
thoroughbred that won the triple crown in 1948
Synonyms, antonyms and the broader and narrower relations for citation come from Princeton University’s WordNet. Full sources and licences.
