Automatic Reference Correction (ARC), a new feature added to the Reference Checking/eXtyles tool in Editorial Manager and Preprint Manager 8.0, automatically corrects any reference that links to PubMed or CrossRef. ARC links to the full metadata for the reference and uses it to reconstruct the reference – either by adding missing data only (Add mode), or by adding missing data and replacing any incorrect data in the reference (Add and Merge mode).

In the example below, ARC has used PubMed data to automatically correct the original reference (top) by correcting the author list, and in the article title changing “intracellular” to “intercellular”, adding the word “pigment”, and adding the missing volume number.
