We reviewed all the references quoted in Volume 45 (1990) (n = 3967) and half the references quoted in Volume 49 (1994) (n = 2183) of Anaesthesia. The references were numbered sequentially and 100 references from each year were randomly selected. Citations of non-journal articles were omitted leaving 197 citations for careful scrutiny. The 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 references examined, 32% and 41% 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. There was no significant difference in the error rate between the 2 years. It is the responsibility of contributors to ensure that all references are carefully checked.
我们查阅了《麻醉学》第45卷（1990年）中引用的所有参考文献（n = 3967）以及第49卷（1994年）中引用参考文献的一半（n = 2183）。参考文献按顺序编号，每年随机抽取100篇参考文献。非期刊文章的引用被略去，留下197条引用以供仔细审查。对每篇选定参考文献中的作者姓名、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32%和41%包含一个或多个错误。最有可能不准确的元素按频率降序排列为文章标题、作者和页码。这两年的错误率没有显著差异。确保仔细检查所有参考文献是投稿人的责任。
