“…In the specific article by Sackett et al (1976) cited during the lecture I attended, I found that rather than stating that the management of hypertension was influenced by the physician's year of graduation from medical school, Sackett was discussing the different attitudes in hypertension management between a family physician and an industrial physician and the fact that patient's characteristics (e.g., blood pressure, age, and some of the indexes of organ damage) explained no more than 20% of the variability encountered in prescribing. Therefore, the article was the source of a major misquotation as defined by Luo et al (2013) when used to consider how year of graduation affects hypertension treatment, or any treatment if a generalization was aimed for.…”

“…Citation accuracy should be critical in the medical field, but mistakes are common there as well. Foot and ankle surgery 25 Simplified citation style journals had an error rate in their citations of 41 per cent (Luo et al, 2013). Five general surgery titles had an error rate of 35.4 per cent in their citations (Awrey et al, 2011).…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to see if there is a need for and an interest in a modernized and simplified citation style (SCS). Design/methodology/approach -Students in two sections of English 1010 were given a brief training in SCS and asked to use SCS and MLA citation styles, respectively, in their next two assignments. Students were surveyed afterwards about their preferences. Findings -Students preferred using the presented SCS over MLA by a large margin. This was not a surprise. Citation styles are difficult to master. Research limitations/implications -This is a small qualitative study, and the result are not generalizable to a larger population, but the implications suggest that a larger study is warranted. Practical implications -This paper shows that there is a need for a more modern citation style, one that embraces technology and moves forward from the print bibliographic tradition. Originality/value -There are many articles in the literature about citations, but few address modernizing and simplifying citation styles, and none make a proposal for such a style.

“…Interactive online learning initiatives include tutorials (Mages & Garson, 2010) to improve students' citing practices, using facilities such as 'webCt tracking' that have shown positive improvement (Kendall, 2005). The websites of many highereducation institutes provide support for both students and academics in referencing practice providing face-to-face workshops and access to citation managers such as EndNote, Mendeley, WizFolio, Refworks and Zotero (Gilmour & Cobus-Kuo, 2011), of which have improved accuracy to some extent (Luo, Li, Molina, Andersen, & Panchbhavi, 2013). An interesting study by Fenton, Brazier, De Souza, Hughes, and McShane (2000) showed that 'the higher the impact factor for the journal, the lower the number of errors'.…”

The references cited in scientific articles are as important as any other part of the paper, because of their usefulness to the scientific community and to abstracting and indexing services and citation databases. I studied inaccuracies in references and in‐text citations in sample of 97 of the 519 peer‐reviewed journals accredited by the Iranian National Commission for Journal Accreditation Policy (Ministry of Research, Science and Technology). The target journals published 2,980 articles with 74,577 cited references and 108,151 in‐text citations. The results showed 36.6% as the average percentage error rate (range 5.6% to 61.3%). The mean number of errors in cited reference and in‐text citations was 2.7 per article, and the mean number of errors per journal was 690. For the entire sample of articles, 4,369 in‐text citations did not match any source in the list of references (4%), and 8,683 cited references did not match any in‐text citation (11.6%). The stakeholders in scholarly communication, especially authors, pay insufficient attention to the accuracy of bibliographic references. Peer‐reviewed journals should encourage the use of standardized journal policies and quality‐control measures regarding peer review, data quality and accuracy.
