Abstract

MEDLINE is widely used as a source for identifying and reviewing medical journal literature. Its accuracy is generally taken for granted, as is that of the contents pages published by the journals themselves. In this study of citation accuracy we examined the articles published in Clinical Otolaryngology and Allied Sciences from 1976 to 1998. The entries in MEDLINE were compared with the entries in the Journal's contents pages, and with the actual articles. Of 1651 articles published in the journal, one was omitted from MEDLINE and 25 (1.5%) were incorrectly cited, while 88 (5.3%) were incorrectly cited in the contents pages. Twenty-one (84%) of the errors in MEDLINE involved names of authors. Apart from incomplete retrieval of information for practice and research, errors could result in an author not getting credit for publications.

摘要

医学文献数据库（MEDLINE）被广泛用作识别和查阅医学期刊文献的来源。其准确性通常被视为理所当然，期刊自身出版的目次表的准确性也是如此。在这项关于引用准确性的研究中，我们检查了1976年至1998年发表在《临床耳鼻喉科及相关科学》上的文章。将MEDLINE中的条目与该期刊目次表中的条目以及实际文章进行了比较。在该期刊发表的1651篇文章中，有一篇被MEDLINE遗漏，25篇（1.5%）被错误引用，而在目次表中有88篇（5.3%）被错误引用。MEDLINE中21处（84%）错误涉及作者姓名。除了实践和研究信息检索不完整外，错误可能导致作者的出版物得不到认可。
