Are our referencing errors undermining our scholarship and credibility? The case of expatriate failure rates
通过分析60篇关于海外派遣失败率的引用网络,发现不当引用普遍存在,导致一个无实证支持的迷思被广泛传播,并讨论了如何避免此类错误。
Abstract Using a citation network of 60 references on expatriate failure rates, I demonstrate how commonplace is the violation of the principles for good academic referencing. Inappropriate references undermine scholarship and its credibility. In the case of expatriate failure rates, miscitation has promoted a firmly entrenched myth unsubstantiated by any empirical evidence. I discuss the implications of referencing errors for academics and practitioners and demonstrate how these errors can be avoided. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
