Abstract
In this issue of Annals, Gurudevan and Mower present data from one emergency medicine residency describing the number of applicants who misrepresented the citations listed in their curricula vitae. The authors reviewed 2 years' applications and determined that almost 7% of all applicants misrepresented their citations. However, if we examine data only from applicants who listed citations in their curricula vitae, 20% misrepresented their authorship roles.
