Examples of Common Errors in References

[1]  {Eesly86} G. L. Eesly, Phys. Rev. B 33, 2144 (1986)
Translated as: [prb] Physical Review B 33, 2144 (1986)
Your paper: Eesly,G.L./
Our record: Eesley,G.L./
WARNING: name mismatch

First author name misspelled.

[2]  {potasio1} F. S. Cataliotti, E. A. Cornell, C. Fort, M. Inguscio, F. Marin, M. Predevelli, L. Ricci, and G. M. Tino, Phys. Rev. A 57, 1136 (1998)
Translated as: [pra] Physical Review A 57, 1136 (1998)
Your paper: Cataliotti,F.S./Cornell,E.A./Fort,C./Inguscio,M./Marin,F./Predevelli,M./Ricci,L./Tino,G.M./
Our record: Cataliotti,F.S./Cornell,E.A./Fort,C./Inguscio,M./Marin,F./Prevedelli,M./Ricci,L./Tino,G.M./
WARNING: name mismatch

One of the authors is misspelled. Note that cases such as this require quite close inspection.

[3]  {oh2000} Y. Oh, A. I. Titov and T. S. Lee, Phys. Rev. C 63, 025201 (2001)
Translated as: [prc] Physical Review C 63, 025201 (2001)
Your paper: Oh,Y./Titov,A.I./Lee,T.S./
Our record: Oh,Y./Titov,A./Lee,T.S.H./
WARNING: name mismatch

The names are technically correct but the full list of initials has not been given. It is APS style to list the full initials.

[4]  {Eesly87} G. L. Eesly, Phys. Rev. Lett. 58, 1680 (1987)
Translated as: [prl] Physical Review Letters 58, 1680 (1987)
Your paper: Eesly,G.L./
Our record: Schoenlein,R.W./Lin,W.Z./Fujimoto,J.G./Eesley,G.L./
WARNING: name mismatch

Author names do not match at all. Either volume, page, or authors are incorrect.

[5]  {Dieleman99} D. J. Dieleman, A. F. Koenderink, A. F. M. Arts, and H. W. de Wijn, Phys. Rev. B 60, 14791 (1999)
Translated as: [prb] Physical Review B 60, 14791 (1999)
Your paper: Dieleman,D.J./Koenderink,A.F./Arts,A.F.M./deWijn,H.W./
Our record:
** One of journal (B), volume (60), page (14791) is wrong **
                    DIELEMAN,D.J.     PRB 60 14719

Page number incorrect. Possible correct matches are shown based on combinations of the first author and volume or page number. Usually, the error is obvious.

[6]  {Birge} D. L. Lesley-Pelecky and N. O. Birge, Phys. Rev. Lett. 72, 1232 (1992)
Translated as: [prl] Physical Review Letters 72, 1232 (1992)
Your paper: Lesley-Pelecky,D.L./Birge,N.O./
Our record: Leslie-Pelecky,D.L./Birge,N.O./
WARNING: name mismatch
Warning: year (1992) should really be (1994)

Name misspelt and also given year does not match volume number.

[7]  {Hwang-1999} J. Hwang, 1999, Phys. Rev. D, 60, 103512.
Translated as: [prd] Physical Review D 60, 103512
Your paper: J.Hwang/
Our record: Hwang,J.C./
WARNING: name mismatch
Warning: year () should really be (1999)

The reference does not conform to APS style as written. The program has tried to interpret the style used; it has successfully resolved the intended journal reference but unsuccessfully resolved the author name.

[8]  {Davydov} A. S. Davydov, Sov. Phys. Rev. B 25, 898 (1982)
Translated as: [prb] Physical Review B 25, 898 (1982)
Your paper: Davydov,A.S./Sov/
Our record:
** One of journal (B), volume (25), page (898) is wrong **
No matches found for author (Davydov,A)

The journal, volume, and page do not match a valid APS reference. The program has tried to seek valid matches based on the first author's surname and one initial and combinations of the volume and page. No such matches were found.

[9]  {quintessence-pert} P. T. P. Viana, and A. R. Liddle, 1998, Phys. Rev. D, 57, 674
Translated as: [prd] Physical Review D 57, 674
Your paper: Viana,P.T.P./A.R.Liddle/
Our record: Viana,P.T.P./Liddle,A.R./
WARNING: name mismatch
Warning: year () should really be (1998)

This is a nonstandard style for APS references. The year of publication (in parentheses) should appear after the page number at the end of the reference.

[10]  {RH} P. Rosenau and J. M. Hyman, Compactons: solitons with finite wavelength, Phys. Rev. Lett., 70 (1993) 5 64-567.
Translated as: [prl] Physical Review Letters , 70 (1993) 564
Your paper: Rosenau,P./Hyman,J.M./Compactons/solitonswithfinitewavelength/
Our record: Rosenau,P./Hyman,J.M./
WARNING: name mismatch

The program has tried unsuccessfully to resolve the details of a nonstandard reference style, e.g., titles of papers, issue numbers, and page ranges should not appear.

Examples of spurious errors

[11]  {Zhu} Very recently, it has been shown that in this model z has the same value independent of spatial dimensionality, J. - Y. Zhu and Z. R. Yang, Phys. Rev. E 59, 1551 (1999)
Translated as: [pre] Physical Review E 59, 1551 (1999)
Your paper: spatialdimensionality/Zhu,J.Y./Yang,Z.R./
Our record: Zhu,J.Y./Yang,Z.R./
WARNING: name mismatch

The reference style is actually acceptable but the program has had difficulties detecting the start of the author list.

[12]  {lipperheide} H.Fiedeldey, R. Lipperheide, G, H, Rawitscher and S. A. Sofianos, Phys. Rev. C 45, 2885 (1992)
Translated as: [prc] Physical Review C 45, 2885 (1992)
Your paper: Fiedeldey,H./Lipperheide,R./G/H/Rawitscher/Sofianos,S.A./
Our record: Fiedeldey,H./Lipperheide,R./Rawitscher,G.H./Sofianos,S.A./
WARNING: name mismatch

The program expects commas between author names and proper use of periods. It is common for the program to detect small errors in style or in TeX as well as errors in the actual reference.

[13]  {Jefferson} J. Kamphorst Leal da Silva, A. G. Moreira, M. Silv\'{e} rio Soares and F. C. S\'{a} Barreto, Phys. Rev. E 52, 4527 (1995)
Translated as: [pre] Physical Review E 52, 4527 (1995)
Your paper: J.KamphorstLealdaSilva/Moreira,A.G./SilverioSoares,M./aBarreto,F.C.S/
Our record: KamphorstLealdaSilva,J./Moreira,A.G./SilverioSoares,M./SaBarreto,F.C./
WARNING: name mismatch

This is a spurious error. The program has had problems resolving some complicated author names.
