Let me second this: a baseline analysis should include papers that were published or reviewed at least 3-4 years ago.

When I was in grad school, I kept a fairly large .bib file that almost certainly had a mistake or two in it. I don’t think any of them ever made it to print, but it’s hard to be 100% sure.

For most journals, they actually partially check your citations as part of the final editing. The citation record is important for journals, and linking with DOIs is fairly common.
