In-text citations and reference lists
Use the citation style required by the target journal section and ensure every in-text citation has a matching reference list entry. Author names, titles, journal names, years, volumes, issues, and page or article numbers should be complete. References should be checked against source records before submission rather than corrected during proofing.
DOIs and persistent identifiers
Include DOI values whenever available, and prefer persistent URLs over unstable web links. Dataset, preprint, and software citations should also include repository identifiers where they exist. Consistent identifier use improves metadata harvesting and article discoverability across indexing systems.
Common reference errors
Typical problems include unmatched author lists, wrong publication years, broken DOI syntax, inconsistent capitalization, and missing article numbers. These should be corrected before submission because they affect both peer review confidence and production efficiency. Reference management software output should always be manually verified.
