Abstract:
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of references in articles published in Korean Journal of Occupational Health Nursing. METHODS: All references in articles from 2007 to 2009 were compared with PubMed for authors, years, titles, journals, volume, and page accuracy. Four hundred twenty six references were reviewed. Errors were classified either major or minor. RESULTS: Overall rate of inaccurate reference was 46.5%. 34.5% were major errors and 18.8% were minor errors. Most common major errors occurred in the authors, whereas most common minor errors occurred in the titles. CONCLUSION: It is necessary that authors, reviewers, and editorial committees make more efforts to enhance the reference accuracy.
