Abstract

An ideal reference list is made up of reliable references, which are used and consulted during the research study, and is an inseparable part of a scholarly communication. Omissions and mistakenly transcriptions of various elements of citation in reference lists, viz. names of author(s) and/or editor(s), book title, journal title, article’s name, volume number, year, pagination etc. can cause serious bibliographical problems, and such errors often exists in published reports, indexing and abstracting sources for a long time. The paper highlights the challenging key issues related to citation errors, peer review process and impact of peer review on citation errors. Possible solutions are also provided for maintaining the top level accuracy in citations.
