I think you mean "shouldn't authors be reading the articles they cite in their papers?" And the answer is YES

Since phrase searching (certain phrases not being found in particular) in PubMed has come up a few times in #medlibs circles lately, it's worth noting this new change to the PubMed User Guide. Your phrase not found? Contact the NLM Help Desk and suggest it be added.

ALT screenshot of text: "Phrase index Phrases may appear in a PubMed record but not be in the phrase index. Automated processes regularly add new phrases to the index based on standard criteria such as phrase frequency and length. If you would like to request a phrase be added to the phrase index, please write to the NLM Help Desk. To browse the phrase index, use the Show Index feature included in the Advanced Search builder: select a search field, enter the beginning of a phrase, and then click Show Index." from: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/help/#phrase-index
