The accuracy of references in five sport science journals
Introduction: To determine the accuracy of references in sport science journals, 100 random references from 2009-2011 volumes of five sport science journals were examined.
Summary of facts: The overall error rate was 12%. Authors` names were most commonly mistaken (6.5%), followed by journal title (3.5%), article title (2%), pages number (1%), and year of publication (0.5%). Journal of Applied Physiology had the lowest error rate (2.5%), followed by Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews (7.5%), American Journal of Sports Medicine (10%), Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise (17.5%) and Sports Medicine (22.5%).
Conclusion: Although not exempt from mistakes, sport science journals showed reassuring results if compared with other medical specialties.
