title: Referencing in transcultural nursing: an ethical analysis.
abstract: The increasing emphasis placed on transcultural care among clinicians and educators, coupled with the lack of original research in this field, has led to a number of articles in journals and books that are poorly researched and referenced. Authors have a responsibility to critically review primary sources rather than rely on secondary sources that can be erroneous. Having established a unique contribution to the transcultural literature, nurse authors and educators have a responsibility to maintain high professional and ethical standards when disseminating information to readers.
