Runaway Train: Problems of Permanence, Accessibility, and Stability in the Use of Web Sources in Law Review Citations
Mary Rumsey
Abstract
Ms. Rumsey examines the dangerous use of citations to Web sources in law review articles. URLs in law review citations suffer from �link rot� because Web pages disappear or URLs change. After four years, only 30% still work. Writers and editors can reduce but not eliminate this problem.
