To determine the accuracy of bibliographic citation in Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, we reviewed all 1990 volumes and part of 1994 volumes of the journal and sequentially numbered all references appearing in those years (n = 2701 and 2158 in 1990 (No. 1-No. 8) and 1994 (No. 1-No.5), respectively). We randomly selected 100 references from each year. After citations of nonjournal articles were excluded, the remaining 195 citations were carefully scrutinized. Authors' names, article title, journal title, volume number, page numbers, and year were examined in each selected reference. A reference was deemed correct if each element of the citation was identical to its source. Of the examined references, 40% and 45% contained one or more errors in 1990 and 1994, respectively. The elements most likely to be inaccurate were, in descending order of frequency, article title, author, and page number. No significant differences existed in the error rate between the two years. We have found many citation errors in the reference lists of Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica and no improvement in these latest four years. All contributors to Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica should thoroughly check the accuracy of reference lists.
为确定《斯堪的纳维亚麻醉学学报》中参考文献引用的准确性，我们查阅了该期刊1990年全年及1994年部分卷次，并对这些年份中出现的所有参考文献依次进行编号（1990年有2701条，编号为第1号至第8号；1994年有2158条，编号为第1号至第5号）。我们从每年的参考文献中随机抽取100条。在排除非期刊文章的引用后，对剩下的195条引用进行了仔细审查。对每条所选参考文献的作者姓名、文章标题、期刊名称、卷号、页码和年份进行了检查。如果引用的每个元素与其来源一致，则该参考文献被视为正确。在审查的参考文献中，1990年和1994年分别有40%和45%包含一个或多个错误。最容易出现不准确的元素，按频率从高到低依次为文章标题、作者和页码。这两年间的错误率没有显著差异。我们发现在《斯堪的纳维亚麻醉学学报》的参考文献列表中有许多引用错误，且在最近四年中没有改善。《斯堪的纳维亚麻醉学学报》的所有投稿人都应彻底检查参考文献列表的准确性。
