A description of how a conspicuous anomaly in the Web of Science (WoS) database was detected. Beginning in 2002 the WoS randomly mistook and interspersed numerous articles from two different journals, one American and the other South Korean, both specialized in public relations and sharing the same title: Journal of Public Relations Research. The case is especially noteworthy since these are two publications written in very different languages (English and Korean), with different ISSN numbers and editorial outlooks, and whose respective volumes share neither authors nor content.
