While submitting a research paper to journal editors, they check it for validation of all the reference (cited) papers before going for the peer review and some are not validated. How to know about an article whether it is validated or not validated before considering for the reference.
I know what you mean- during submission, the journal submission portal reads- validated or not validated. This is very much journal specific, for example- if you DO NOT do exactly their formatting style their database would not recognize it and would say NOT Validated. Secondly, some sources like Thesis (MS or PhD) which are not properly archived, or say conference papers, websites, some old books which do not have a good electronic record- will never be validated! just ignore those (except the best formatting style suggested by the journal!) to go ahead and submit the manuscript- better leave it to the journal to decide as to which of the references are validated and which are not! Moreover, these things will hardly have any impact on acceptance/ rejection of the manuscript as long as the science is good/ acceptable for the journal!!!! Hope it helps. Thanks, Biswa
I am not sure I understand your question. Are you referring to articles that someone had faked?
You should not really be citing an article unless you have seen it yourself. If you are not sure, Go to Google Scholar and search on the title of the article in quotation marks." If the article is not found, the reference may not be correct.
