Abstract:
Meticulous literature citation is a cornerstone of science, yet citations in published articles mischaracterize the cited work with concerning frequency. There appears to be limited emphasis on citation practices in graduate research training. This tutorial emphasizes the scientific importance of careful citation and the potential costs of careless citation practices. Recommendations are aimed at promoting citations that clearly and accurately represent the cited work. This article provides a resource to encourage more careful citation with the goal of bringing the behavior of scientists under tighter control of the literature and promoting dissemination of work that connects the reader with a systematic body of knowledge.
