To determine the accuracy of bibliographic citations in three widely circulated nursing journals, RN, Nursing Management, and Image: Journal of Nursing Scholarship. Accurate citations facilitate retrieval of the cited documents and establish the judgment and credibility of authors.
Descriptive, comparative.
A random sample of 60 references per journal published July 1995 to June 1996 was reviewed for citation and quotation accuracy. Errors were classified as major or minor. Data were analyzed using the SAS statistical package.
Of the 180 references, 58 (32%) had citation errors, with 43 of 58 errors classified as major errors, which made retrieval of the cited work difficult; 12 of the 180 articles contained a major quotation error, including four instances where the content of the original article contradicted or was unrelated to the author's contention.
The rate of citation and quotation errors in the three sampled nursing journals is comparable to rates previously reported for medical and nursing journals. Errors of citation and quotation diminish the value of published papers.
确定三种广泛发行的护理期刊《注册护士》《护理管理》和《形象：护理学术期刊》中参考文献引用的准确性。准确的引用便于检索被引用的文献，并确立作者的判断力和可信度。
描述性、比较性研究。
对1995年7月至1996年6月各期刊发表的60篇参考文献随机抽样，审查其引用和引述的准确性。错误分为重大错误和小错误。使用SAS统计软件包进行数据分析。
在180条参考文献中，58条（32%）存在引用错误，其中58条错误中有43条被归类为重大错误，这使得被引用文献的检索变得困难；180篇文章中有12篇存在重大引述错误，包括4例原文内容与作者论点相矛盾或无关的情况。
这三种抽样护理期刊中的引用和引述错误率与先前报道的医学和护理期刊的错误率相当。引用和引述错误降低了已发表论文的价值。
