A considerable number of quotational inaccuracies have been detected in medical and surgical publications in the past. Our study investigated the quotational accuracy of selected references of 32 scientific publications in six anesthesia journals referring to a single article published in a 1973 issue of the British Journal of Anaesthesia. In four (12.5%) articles, the quotation was in contradiction to the primary author's statement; in 15 (46.9%) articles, it was selective; and in 13 (40.6%) publications, it was in complete agreement with the important statements made in the original article. These results suggest that quotational inaccuracy is also evident in neuroanesthesiologic research. This problem deserves increased attention by authors as well as by reviewers and journal editors.
过去在医学和外科出版物中已发现相当数量的引用不准确情况。我们的研究调查了六种麻醉学杂志上32篇科学出版物中选定参考文献的引用准确性，这些参考文献均引用了1973年一期《英国麻醉学杂志》上发表的一篇文章。在4篇（12.5%）文章中，引用与第一作者的陈述相矛盾；在15篇（46.9%）文章中，引用是有选择性的；在13篇（40.6%）出版物中，引用与原文中的重要陈述完全一致。这些结果表明，引用不准确在神经麻醉学研究中也很明显。这个问题值得作者以及审稿人和期刊编辑给予更多关注。
