Did you cite your sources? Why bibliography matters
The burgeoning artificial intelligence ecosystem has changed every facet of the landscape of medical research, including the dissemination of results by writing and publishing research papers.

In this Perspective, we reiterate the imperative of properly curating the reference list to support each standard section of a research article.
