I have sent a review article to a journal and in the result, reference checking there were some references ''Unresolved References'' and ''Unlinked References'' although they are recent references and published in prestigious journals and at the center of the topic. Does this affect the acceptance of the article or cause rejection?
I have personally not experienced this before, but a possible way to overcome this problem is to include the DOI numbers of all of the journal articles in your reference list!
@Rodney Duffet Me neither.
However, I think it depends on how many references were considered as unlinked.
I would say that it can't be a strong reason for article rejection unless the number of unlinked preferences is sufficient for the quality of review.
Anyway, adding DOIs was a pretty good advice.
I think it depends on the number of articles as Anastasia Peshkovskaya explains.
How do you make unlinked references to become available for validation
I have a book reference which was not validated among all others.
