Fixing Bibliographic References: Practice Example

Question
Suppose that you have a bibliographic reference that seems to be wrong, and you have not easily been able to fix it. Here the reference is:
M. Overduin and T. Beer (2000) The plot thickens: How thrombin modulates blood clotting, Nature Struct. Biol., 18(1): 69-70.

Suppose that you also know that the full name of the first author is Michael J. Overduin.

Now use the Web (but not a journal index) to see if you can fix this bibliographic reference.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Suggested Solution
  1. Go to Google
  2. Using the search string "Michael J. Overduin", we find over a dozen references.
  3. If we go to the 1st of these, Pharmacology Faculty, Michael J. Overduin, we find that it is his professional website.
  4. If we then click on the link to his Selected Recent Publications (actually his CV), we readily discover that the reference in question should read:
    M. Overduin and T. Beer (2000) The plot thickens: How thrombin modulates blood clotting, Nature Structural Biology 7 (4), 267-269.
