It is the authors' experience that papers in the Indian Journal of Psychiatry (IJP) under-reference relevant research previously published in the journal. To empirically address this issue, four volumes of the IJP, from 1989 to 1992 (both years inclusive), were surveyed. It was found that of 292 articles examined, 133 articles (45.5%) had neglected to cite relevant articles previously published in the IJP. The overall ratio of IJP reference included to IJP reference omitted was 1:1. Surprisingly, four articles were found to have been published twice in the IJP without the duplicate publication having been noticed and recorded. These findings suggest a need for introspection at author, referee and editorial levels.
作者的经验表明，《印度精神病学杂志》（IJP）中的论文在引用先前在该杂志上发表的相关研究方面做得不够。为了实证解决这个问题，对 1989 年至 1992 年（包括这两年）的四卷 IJP 进行了调查。结果发现，在所检查的 292 篇文章中，有 133 篇（45.5%）忽略了引用先前在 IJP 上发表的相关文章。所包含的 IJP 参考文献与遗漏的 IJP 参考文献的比例为 1:1。令人惊讶的是，有四篇文章被发现在 IJP 上重复发表了两次，而没有注意到并记录重复发表的情况。这些发现表明作者、审稿人和编辑层面都需要进行反思。
