References
Do the references reflect the quality, breadth and recency of the publication?
Some reviewers judge the quality of a publication from the quality of the references, looking for things like:
- Are journal article page numbers given?
- Are author names spelled correctly? Are major authors in the field referenced?
- Are the references up to date?
- Are there journal references, not just books, web sites or magazines?
One need not be too “trendy”, as research is not a fashion show, but some recent references show you are up to date.
