Reference Actuality

With this report, you see the up-to-dateness and reference density (number of references per 100 words) of the references in your manuscript and by making necessary improvements you will be able to avoid rejections due to using outdated literature or an insufficient number of references.

PoolText calculates the up-to-dateness for references that accurately include the date info in the bibliographic data.

What does this graph show?

Recent citations published in the past 10 years are expected to be more than 64.95% of all citations. Likewise, citations older than 10 years are expected to be less than 35.05% of all citations and so on. Green bars show expected ranges for references. Blue dots show the status of your references.

*please remember that in some cases up-to-dateness of references would strongly depend on other factors like the field and the topic of the article.

# of Citation per 100 words

What does this graph show?

This bell curve shows the distribution of the number of citations per 100 words for thousands of articles in our database and the relative position of your article. The green area is generally considered as an acceptable range for reference density.

*please remember that optimal number of references would also change with other factors including the journals' regulations and article type.
