Summary, etc. The study examines the reference accuracy of two prominent Indian library and information science journals, viz. <em>Annals of Library and Information Studies</em> and <em>DESIDOC Journal of Library and Information Technology</em>.<em> </em>In all, one hundred and eighteen references were considered for verification. Only 39 (33%) references were correct. Among 79 incorrect references, there were total 151 errors of which 71 (47%) errors were major and 80 (53%) were minor errors. The average number of errors (ratio of number of errors) was 1.28. A proper mechanism is needed in both the journals to maintain the quality of references in terms of errors.
