This article summarizes the content of a meeting held in July 2001 to (1) review what is known about the effect of parity based on research already done, (2) identify what is likely to be known from research in progress, and (3) identify the knowledge gaps that still exist. An annotated bibliography of studies and reports on parity from 1996 through 2001 is included.
OBJECTIVE: To assess the accuracy of references in articles published in Emergency Medicine, and to categorize these errors. METHODS: All the references in Volume 12 of Emergency Medicine were listed and numbered consecutively. A sample of 100 references was then selected. Each reference was then checked, initially on an electronic database, with the original article being used as the gold standard. RESULTS: 1469 citations were included in the study. A random sample of 100 was taken and examined in detail. 35 papers were shown to have at least one error, and a total of 41 errors were found. The maximum number of errors in one paper was 3. These errors are analysed in detail. CONCLUSION: Poor reference accuracy is a common problem in medical literature, and Emergency Medicine is not immune to these failings. Authors need to take more care to ensure that the accuracy of citations improves.
