[Air-l] Scholars Note 'Decay' of Citations to Online References

[Ulla Bunz]

The link below will take you to an article debating the reliability of online
citations. The article mentions New Media & Society and quotes Steve Jones. I'm not
sure how long the article will be available for free... I think up to five days.
However, the main point (the URL's given in print journal publications are not very
reliable as websites are taken offline or content changes) is a very important one
and should be of interest to many of us. Any thoughts?
