Summary: The accurate use of references is crucial in academic pursuit of truth, but previous studies show that approximately 25% of references in many academic journals do not support the claims they are cited for. This paper examines quotation errors in history journals and finds an error rate of 24.27% when comparing articles with their references. However, due to challenges posed by citation conventions in history journals, the actual prevalence of errors is likely underestimated. The paper also offers potential methods for reducing errors and improving future quotation error reviews.

Summary: This study investigated the correlation between the extent of educational research article citations and the content accuracy. The analysis of 500 randomly selected citations from articles published between 2016 and 2020 and listed in the Web of Science Core Collection revealed an overall accuracy rate of 85%. The accuracy of citations was not influenced by their specificity or bibliometric characteristics. However, the severity of citation mistakes was related to the specificity of the referenced source's description and whether it was authored by colleagues or the authors themselves.

Summary: Amid an increasingly demanding research environment, there is a growing interest in Research Integrity and Research Ethics (RIRE). Western countries, particularly North America and Western Europe, lead in RIRE publications. While growing economies like China show interest, their progress is not comparable to overall publications. However, there is an increase in international collaborations, indicating a maturing global community with distributed knowledge transfer towards unified international standards.

Summary: A study analyzed the quality of scientific citations in Wikipedia using a massive database and machine learning algorithms, finding that most cited scientific articles are uncited or untested by subsequent studies, showing a wide variability in contradicting or supporting evidence. Additionally, a similar pattern was found in scientific articles from journals indexed in the Web of Science.

Summary: Research has shown that photodynamic therapy is an important therapeutic strategy in oncology and has gained attention in recent years. However, there has been no bibliometric study to summarize the research landscape of cancer photodynamic therapy (CPDT). This study collected and analyzed over 5,800 CPDT publications from 2000 to 2021. The results revealed an increasing trend in publications and citations over the past 22 years. China and the United States were the main contributors in this field, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences was the most prolific institution. The research hotspots included nanotech-based PDT and enhanced PDT.
