Abstract

The consequences of the findings from the concerned literature on reference accuracy, citation error and other related sub-topics for the use of reference accuracy in scientific studies are discussed. Worse, this literature is highly scattered outside the library and information science field. Unquestionably, the list of references appended at the end of a scholarly article is a most important part of a publication. Referencing correctly according to a given citation style guide is a prime responsibility of authors, since it protects them from charges of academic theft and plagiarism as well as it enhance the quality and maintain the credibility of both authors and journals. Various burning issues of the citation errors, a decades-long problem in scholarly communication, are discussed.

Keywords: Reference Accuracy; Citation Errors; Reference Lists; Scholarly Communication.
