This research investigated the accuracy of citations in four international peer reviewed indexed geological journals, viz. Results-In the study, 52 out of the 100 citations were found to be accurate, while the remaining 48 were inaccurate. The citations accuracy level was 52%. The ratio of number of errors (average number of errors) was 0.62. Twenty-two major errors and 40 minor errors were found in 100 citations. Conclusion-Not only geological scientists and researchers need to be more attentive while compiling the reference list but also librarians should conduct referencing behaviour programs along with library orientation programs for research scholars. Training of skill development in reference management tools and software can be conducted in libraries.
