Abstract

Purpose An accurate listing of cited references in journal articles is important for the reader. Many studies have revealed errors in the references cited in a variety of subspecialty journals. We believe that a similar amount of errors, relative to other subspecialty journals, exists in the Journal of Hand Surgery. Methods One hundred randomly selected references from each of the 1985 and 1995 Journal of Hand Surgery volumes were analyzed for accuracy of the journal name, title, author name(s), year, volume, and page number(s). References were considered without error if they matched the original article exactly. Results In 1985, 30% of the references examined contained one or more errors as compared with 11% in 1995. Conclusions These error rates are similar to those found in studies of other biomedical journals. Perhaps the decrease in the quantity of errors present in 1995 versus that of 1985 is related to the implementation of a more stringent, revised set of instructions to submitting authors imposed in 1995.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
